on our area. On Monday 3 tornadoes hit our little county and left much damage. No one was killed, but many had their homes destroyed. One came with in a mile of my house and even closer to family members.
Then on Wednesday 6 high school girls were killed in a car wreck in the town where DH and I went to collage and were married, about 20 miles from where we live now. The high school only had 240 kids.
Also really weighing on my mind is the war in Ukraine. Our nephew's wife is from Ukraine. She has two adult children. Her daughter was living in Kiev with her two year old daughter. Her son had moved with his family to Poland about a year ago. The daughter and her family tried to make it to Poland to her brother. Under heavy bombing they were turn back. The 26 year old carried her 2 year old for four days and finally made it to Hungry. Nephew's mother- in-law refused to leave. So one of his sister-in-laws stayed, her husband is fighting. They were in Dnieper. Nephew's wife has lots of family there and as you can imagine she is not doing well.
Just had to get all that out.

I'm very sorry. That is a lot to try to process and deal with in such a short span of time. I'm hoping everything works out for you, your family, and everyone in your county regarding the tornado damage and happy that no one was killed during the storms.
As to the families of the 6 girls, I will be saying prayers for them.
I have been continually praying for the people of Ukraine and hoping this horrible attack on them stops soon. I will get more specific with regards to the people you know there. I am pretty sure I have family there since my grandfather, one of 9 children, left Ukraine many years ago for Canada and eventually California which is where I am now. I don't know how many people related to him are still living there. One of my uncles corresponded with his cousin who was living in the home my grandfather was born in. My uncle, and probably the cousin he was talking with, passed away a few years ago. I don't know anything else about anyone remaining there.

I was reading an article in The Daily Oklahoman yesterday about how dangerous that corner is where the girls were killed. Hopefully, it will be fixed, but of course it won't bring back the girls. I can't imagine how badly the community is suffering.
I'm sorry you've had such a bad week.

Oh my goodness. All of these things are enough for a lifetime, let alone a week. Please keep talking about the grief and don't try to handle all your feelings alone.
I feel the war is hitting me harder than some, I try to think of other things and "take a break" but it can be hard. I am praying for her family and all the people affected. Please take care of yourself.

I hope by sharing some of your grief and sadness here it lessens it just a bit for you. Six young girls in one wreck? That's simply awful. Sometimes the world just seems overwhelming with all the bad things that happen.
