Gotta make this short because right now I have a headache.
The weekend was a little quiet and sad as two of my hubby’s cousins passed away in a horrific accident. All in all five people were killed including the driver of the other car and his wife and the husband of one of my hubby’s cousin.
While I did not know his cousins very well they were still on my mind the whole day. I especially felt sorry for the children. Two boys are now orphaned all because someone wanted to save a minute of his time in driving, and now even he is dead. One of the boys is 19 years old and will be going to college soon. As if it weren’t difficult enough that the university has to be so far away but now to lose both parents at a time of his life when he needs them the most! And his little brother….his little brother is 6 years old. My heart breaks.
Before we heard of the accident, that afternoon I had taken the twins and one of my daughter for a ride in the car. And all throughout the drive we saw accidents left and right, five in all. After seeing the third accident I told myself to just take it slow driving as I had the children in the car with me. And when we got the call from my sister-in-law later that evening I couldn’t help but thank God that I listened to my gut feeling and took it slow driving. To think that all those lives were lost-three of them died on the spot- just to save a few minutes in traveling time. Hardly worth it…
