Last Monday a man named Tim Bosma was abducted while taking 2 men on a test drive in a truck he had been selling on kijiji. For a week our community gathered together to send hope and prayers to him and his family in hopes of his return home. After a week of looking Tim was found. It is with a heavy heart that I say Tim cannot return to his home on this earth, but he has been called to his home with god.

I did not know Tim before this last week, but within this one week I grew to care, hope, pray, fear, cry, and worry for him. I cannot find the right words to say, or how to express my condolences. I feel angry that this happened, that his wife is now a widow, his child now without a father. I feel sad knowing the future his family will face living life without him. But most importantly I feel the need to protect. I feel that as a community we worked together to raise awareness, now it is time to support his family, protect them, comfort them, and allow them to rely on us when the need it the most.

How many times do you take your life and the people in it for granted. You constantly say there's always tomorrow, or save it for later. What if you or someone you care about doesn't get another tomorrow, one last kiss, one more good bye hug, one last I love you. In light of this tragic situation please remember to always say I love you, and show how much you care, because life is so precious, we need not take it for granted.

So tonight light a candle and say a prayer for Tim and the Bosma family.
