My Friend Skye

I threw on a Sunday playlist on Spotify this morning as I was getting ready for church, and the first song that played was "You Know Better Than I." Every time I hear this song, I think of my sweet friend Amy's son Colton, because someone sang it so beautifully at his funeral. The chorus says "You know better than I. You know the way. I've let go the need to know why, for you know better than I." I needed to hear those words that day at the funeral, and I needed to hear them today because once again, I have been asking "Why?" I asked why the day of Skye's diagnosis, and repeatedly over this past year as I've watched her courageously battle cancer. Why does such an amazing person have to endure so many unimaginable trials? Well, I don't know why, but I do know that these trials can mold and form us into who our Heavenly Father intends for us to become. As I look back on the few trials I have faced, I can now see the knowledge, compassion, and understanding I have gained throughout those hard times. Skye has faith and is at peace with His plan, and I will follow her example. I miss my friend Skye, but I will be forever grateful that I am one of the many that were so blessed by knowing her.
