KANGEN Miracle WATER or Devistation.

Water will have to wait. I had planned to tell the whole story, but got to work this morning and found an e-mail waiting that informed me that a cousin, Dave Partridge [ we used to play ball with them when we lived in West Jordan, remember the picnics and the . . .] 's daughter and her daughter ( his 10 year old grand daughter) were found murdered last night. Dave's daughter married had two girls 10 years and 7 years and then divorced the father. A year ago she began living with a man who had custody of his 1 year old daughter. He was violent and threatened. He killed her, the 10 year old (Dave convinced the 7 year old to come and stay with him), his baby and himself. Evidently it happened Saturday night and they just found them Tuesday night. Dave, and family are devistated.

How lucky we are, inspite of cancer and miscarriages and diabetes, to not have this kind of horror in our lives. I will be saving a news clipping in the family history program and going to the funeral, of course.

This family has had such trauma. The father was sexually abusive to his daughter. One child became a lesbian and then changed back. One went to prison for manslaughter. One was addicted to drugs and recovered. A brother died last year - was riding his ATV and somehow it flipped on top of him, another brother died of an illness, etc. Strength of family is the most precious attitribe when it comes to surviving.
