"Dont Judge Me"

Savannah had coined that phrase in our home, and if she were able to I'm sure thats what she would have to say right now

Playing on train tracks sounds like a silly thing to do, but not to these girls.
It was a beautiful, fall day in the canyon, the leaves were starting to change colors, the sun was getting ready to set and the three muskuteers had their camera in hand.  Only a few minutes prior to the accident Savannah had posted a message on her Facebook sharing the fun she was having.  Unfortunately that was her last post.

Some time after 6 p.m the girls were cought standing in the gravel area between two trians going in oposite directions.  To the eye it would apear that there was plenty of room to stand safely while the trians passed, but what the girls may not have known was that the force of the wind created by the trians would be enough to blow them over

   In their innocence they found joy and they found pian

     There are a lot of what if's; What if they hadn't gone to the trian tracks that day? What if they had never moved to utah? What if they had just layed down? what if......? But we can spend every day of our lives hiding in our homes, hoping to aviod tragiedy, heart ache, but when it come down to it what we'll loose is the opportunity to experience this beautiful life that God has blessed us with- to see the canyon in the fall, to hear the birds over head, and the sound of a running stream. They saw it all that day.  My girls did not hide from life they lived every day with exciment and purpose.
 
   Let their life be an example to us. Let their smiles remind us to welcome life openly. When your heart hurts remember- they saw it all that day.
