So I'm out in the blogger world this morning and I read about the tragedy for John Dobbs in the death of his son, John Robert Dobbs. He was to graduate high school this evening, but instead will be buried tomorrow after an accident on the interstate. It really struck me because I have an eighteen year old son graduating this weekend. He's a precious, fine young man and I'm so proud of him. I could not imagine losing him.
I guess Mrs. Dobbs became concerned when they could not get in touch with their son about midnight and she went out looking for him. She returned and John went out looking for him about 4am. Shortly after he left the police came with the news that their son had been killed.
I've made the phone calls, and went out looking a few times, but I cannot imagine getting that kind of news. My heart goes out to the Dobbs family and all their friends. I'm going to hold my son a little closer this weekend and thank God for both my children and my wife. And our health, and our home,...etc!
