Cool, Calm and Collected

A for­mer win­ner of Post of the Day wrote us that she was sorry it took her so long to “pay it for­ward” by nom­i­nat­ing today’s post, but she really said that she took this respon­si­bil­ity very seri­ously. She thought the blog Cool, Calm and Col­lected is par­tic­u­larly excep­tional because of just how can­did, open, and hon­est its author Melissa Sewell is as she writes about her life. We are advised to keep a box of tis­sues handy before we read today’s post, because we might need them.

Melissa lost her fiancé Jim in Feb­ru­ary. While Melissa is only 19, Jim was just 21 when he was killed in Iraq. Hers is a jour­ney of pain and sor­row, but there’s under­ly­ing hope and faith. Despite all she’s been through, she car­ries on. She has bad days, and not-so-bad days. I don’t think it’s pos­si­ble to remain untouched after read­ing this won­der­ful young woman’s posts. The Ris­ing Blog­ger is par­tic­u­larly hon­ored to award Melissa Sewell our Post of the Day from May 3, 2007 and is titled Cur­rent Wor­ries. God bless, Melissa and we wish you the won­der­ful and happy life that you deserve.
