Last Night we were watching the news and it seemed that there was hardly anything that was optimistic. Alot of wrecks, a man charged with felony cruelty for ripping the head off of a 8 week old kitten, a child dying, etc. It was very depressing. Anyway, this morning, two of my sisters came over and asked if I had watched the news last night, I told them yes and they had told me about one wreck in particular, one I recognized immediately, and I found out today that it was my cousin. Apparently, he had been driving on the freeway, set his cruise and had fallen asleep. Well, when you first get into the city, they are doing construction and you have to slow down to 45, the previous speed was 65. Being asleep, he obviousely could not slow down and he ended up hitting the back of a semi at over 65 miles per hour. He was in a little car and the front hood was actually barely damaged, it went under the semi. The main part to hit was the windshield on. He was killed instantly. He was about 28-29 I believe and he left behind a wife and three kids(two boys and a girl)
I am kind of in shock right now. I knew him well when I was younger but have not talked to him in years. I feel most sad for my aunt and uncle, whom I am very close with. I am going to see them today or tomorrow. I do not even know what to say to them. I could not imagine losing one of my kids. So suddenly too.
Just thought I would share this with you, please remember to always live your life like it is your last day because you never know when it actually might be. Tell the people that you love that you love them, do not assume that they "just know" Tell them so that there is no doubt.
Thank You. I wanted to see them today but couldn't because I need to find a sitter first. I do not want to bring the kids with me. I am in more shock then sadness. I mean, I feel awful but I was not super close to him. What is hitting me more was how quick alot of lives changed. It made me realize how quickly things can happen and we are a traveling family, it kind of makes you a little nervous to travel. We won't stop, because we love to travel but I am definitely going to be more aware of everything around me.
How terrible. And at such a young age. You are right...we never know when its our last day here.....
Not to hijack this thread but Kat, wasn't it you who posted about the woman who lost her father and husband all within the same day or so? How is she doing? I haven't stopped thinking about that since I read it.
yes, that was me. She is doing better. She has come back to work. She works for my husband. She said she is taking things one day at a time. Her mother is also older and is not in the best health. She is concerned about her too. I actually thought of you when I talked to her and honestly said to myself, some people just cannot get a break. However, I believe that everything happens for a reason, what her reason is and what yours are, I have no idea but I do have a feeling that great things will come for both of you.
and more hugs from California... There have been more deaths this year, than in most. I count three [two wives, one father] in the band that I waiter for on Wednesday, and my co-worker lost his mom-inlaw. On the other hand, I see many pregnant women this year, cycles come and cycles go. For everything there is a season...
