I was only 14


My best friend, Donnie had moved about 75 miles away as their father Don sr had bought a farm with his brother. They farmed and they also had many dairy cows to milk each day.

Donnie had two younger siblings, Mike who was 12 and Barb who was 10. I had just been down to see them on their farm maybe two months before "the call". Mike had been sledriding behind the house that was on a big hill. He had hit a treestump and ruptured his spleen. On the the operating table, he said dont worry mom. dont cry. I will be ok.

He never made it out of surgery.

That was the first time that I had ever dealt with losing a friend to death. I couldnt believe it. I think I was mad at God. I wasnt saved until a year later.
