When You Care for Someone

        This entry will be a little different then my other entries. I've been second hand to a situation that has made me upset and worried for the past few days. It is having me look and praying for a miracle even though I don't know the person personally. When I say that I have been second hand in the situation, that is what I mean. I don't know the person that the situation is about but I know some of his friends and some of his friends are close friends of mine so therefore, my heart hurt for my friends that as had direct connection with the situation.
        I am learning a lot from this situation. When you care for someone, especially in the hunting industry, you need to let them know that you care for them every chance you get. You just never know when a hunting trip will go wrong or when the gun will go off just randomly. I will be truthful, right here and right now, but I have always been kind of scared of hunting. I can see the fun side in it because of being out in Creation and spending time with people closest to you but still there has always been that little fear back in my mind about the guns or if people have no common sense. It could be just where I was raised too because there wasn't too many people with common sense around the town where I grew up. They would just miss school to go hunting but yet didn't do much with the meat. Just to make it clean I'm talking about my town folks having no common sense, not the ones in the situation I'm talking about. I don't even know them personally so I can't say anything about them.
         This situation has made me realize just how much more dangerous any hunting trips can turn into and I need to take every chance I get to tell my hunting friends that I do care. I need to spend more time talking to them or hanging out with them or both. As much as I am thinking about the whole situation and the friends and families involved, I will admit my mind went straight to a friend of mine after the first night and I have been thinking about and praying about my friend more then the real situation since that is something I can relate to.
         I'm also thinking about the wife of the guy that is missing and how she must be feeling right now. I love that some of the tweets say that she is keeping the hope and still praying strong but for me if that happened to a friend or my husband, I don't know if I could be like her if I was completely honest. I would go crazy and not get out of the house for a few days. It is also just strange to think about would I want my husband's stories, step by step, all over the news if he was to be famous even in his home state. Right after things happened or would I want to give people closest to me some time to gather things and thoughts. But then that could be a little selfish of me because the more the news gets out the more praying can be done so it would be hard but I would probably end up getting it on the news especially in the home state.
          It is just another thing that I would probably have to talk to my husband about if I married a hunting one and it would be one of our 1st main talks, probably before children or anything else major then that. I want to be clear on what to do if things go wrong. I am a worrier and I like to have a plan ahead of time if possible even the littlest of a plan. I know God changes things. I've seen that in my life too much but still some plan to comfort me a little would be greatly appreciated.
         Going into the year 2016, makes me really think what my top things should be below God. God should be my first and then families second, and friends third and I really need to keep it that way. I know I am starting a new spot at my job but a job is just a job/money but people and memories are forever. When you care for someone, keep them in your heart forever and let them know that you care for them everyday because if you don't you might regret it later. Do things that they would think you would never do for them or for the ones they even love.
