A dear friend's son was killed last night...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

in a horrible car accident with a tractor trailer. He was as nice a kid as he was good-looking...sophomore in college...good grades...fantastic guitar player. I heard a recording my friend made of him once. He would have gone places. This is so tragic.

Please keep my friend and her family in your thoughts.

You can plan and map your life out as much as you want; but it's no guarantee that you'll be here 10 seconds from now.

:hug:

[Dervill Crow]

43. So, so sorry.

That's horrible, can't even imagine what that must be like.

Too many rotten things are happening lately. Don't know if the world has always been this messed up and it just hits me harder now because of nerves so raw from all the unrelated pockets of crap in this country. When I hear of something like this whether it is close to home or far away, I seize up with anxiety over my own kids. And no, it's not all about me, it's about hurting for everyone.

Sending all good thoughts for healing to your friend and her family, and you, too.
:grouphug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. The good thoughts you send...

are the rainbow after the storm. :grouphug: They really mean so much...

[Bullwinkle925]
