' ... They seem so ... final, like in 'I'll never see you again.' ....' Please keep the families of Tim and Paul Samaras and Carl Young in your thoughts and prayers as they say 'Good-bye' to their loved ones. (Image © 2013, Karla Dorman, copyright added.)

I hate good-byes. They seem so ... final, like in 'I'll never see you again.' Maybe so, not in this lifetime, anyway. You were too young. It's true : only the good die young. Especially since you saved lives by losing yours. Heroes, all. It's not fair. You are missed by many: your families. All of us in the weather, spotting and chasing communities. We lost three of our own. This isn't 'Good bye.' We'll see you everytime we look up into the skies and think of you in the clouds. Like early this morning. 27,000 lightning bolts lit up the North Texas night ... it must have been God saying, 'Welcome Home.' See you later.

It doesn't seem fair to us, Karla, I understand that. That's for sure. But, we should envy them for they're in a much better place than the rest of us. We are sad for our loss and that of their families. In the world we live in today, I pray, at least once every day, "Why not today, my Lord; why not today?" Oh, how I long for eternal bliss. May God bless you and yours, Karla.

They died doing what they loved doing. You couldn't ask for a better way to go.
