How much can we take?

Little towns...everyone knows everybody or atleast you know of somebody...you can't do anything without the coffee drinkers at the local convience store knowing about it. They have had a lot to talk about lately. Louisburg is not a huge city but it's close enough to Kansas City that we are pretty much going to end up a suburb, but we have the small town feel. Everyone is friends with someone or the friend, relative, of someone. In the past month or a little over a month, we have lost 3 people. One was in his 40's when he died, another was 35, and then this weekend a 19 year old passed away. Parents shouldn't have to bury a child. I look at my kids and tear up at just the thought of losing them. Each kiss, "I love you", tear, hug....don't take them for granted because you never know when it'll be the last one. This is not a good way for a week to start out, but I hope that everyone takes the time to tell the people who are important to them that they are loved.
