2006 AD (or, as I like to call it, "The Year Fate Crapped the Bed")

I've just been informed that DrummerWife has been laid off. Her employer has asked her to stay on for the next 2 weeks, but after that, she won't be needed.

Lovely. Ain't life GRAND?

I'm sure she's not taking this well, as I think I heard some tears as I hung up the phone. I love you, Hon. We'll figure this out. We got through losing Aaron, we'll figure out how to survive this. I promise.

Loss is not easy - you have been through the worst loss anyone can ever imagine. Many who lose a job say it was a good thing that forced them to move on to something better. Timing on this one just sucks!

Love you guys! We'll be scouring the employment section of the papers for you.

Lost jobs can often be blessings in disguise... although it's easier to see that after a new job is found and time goes on a bit.

It does seem like really horrible timing but hopefully something better will come along.

I hope this doesn't impact your ability to go ahead with the planned distractions for the holidays.

Take care! Your in our thoughts and prayers.

She emailed me and asked if we were living parrell lives, with my husband being laid off a few months ago. Ha! Good luck to you both. Maybe Aaron has something better in store for her.

Dear Nikki,
I've seen, first-hand, what a gifted employee you are. I've had a great time working with you these past three years and I will miss seeing you on a daily basis. It's not going to be the same without those Nikki giggles coming from your desk. Having said that, I know doors will open for you and God will see to it that you're taken care of. Perhaps this is His way of moving you forward. You have a lot to offer. I can hardly wait to witness His plan.

Love, Mom Y

I'm praying for you two! It was nice to see you this weekend and see that "Nikki Smile". We love you and are here to help scour for jobs! God (& Aaron) have better plans for the two of you. You are both extremely talented people and inspire us all!

Love you,
Tracey
XOXO
