Sugar Mountain
“The chairlift took them, two at
a time, to the top. Skis were dangling from the air. The excitement of boys
from Scout Troop 109 were in the air. Marla and I were the only women
chaperones that day. We talked of raising boys to be good Christian men, and we
talked of life and love and hobbies and deeper things. How little did we know
that her body was full of cancer and later I would be attending her funeral
instead of sitting by the fire at the ski lodge drinking flavored coffee and
talking about our sons.”
I was only in my 30’s when this happened. I learned at an
early age to cherish the people around me and to not take them for granted as
God may take them “home” at any moment. Cherish the times you have because when
they are gone, you cannot get them back.
