A Little Bit of Thought...
{Warning... this post may be a little upsetting... typing it is making my eyes tear a little...}
Today a little girl died in a school bus crash in Calgary... do I know the girl? Nope... but it kind of hits a chord. I don't have kids of my own, but when a child loses their life for no good reason (really though - is there ever a good reason?) it makes me think... think about how much I love those in my life... and think that I am glad that my nieces and nephews (for whom none are related by blood but yet there is still a very intense bond) are safe and sound and healthy... and for those struggling a little right now... I know that your parents are strong... and as much as I am not a religious person in any way what-so-ever so I don't believe that there was any davine reason things are the way they are... I know that because of their strength you will pull through and the love that they will shower on you will make you just as strong...
So as much as I don't do the whole "praying" thing... I can sit back and think how grateful I am to be me and whether it is someone up in heaven or just by the luck of the stars in the sky... thanks for my family and friends... I wouldn't have it any other way...

Carmen, I cried when I heard the outcome of that accident. I heard about it this morning and had to wait til the 6pm news to find out the little girl died. I am never letting Grayson ride a school bus and I know that is not the only problem facing him but I want him to be close enough not to have to worry about that. It does hurt and strikes WAY TOO close to home for me. I am sad and will probably be thinking about it all night.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, we love you and are glad you are here now.
Very sad. I saw it on the news tonight too. It doesn't make it better when the news can't shut up about the details and what happened to her. I just hope her parents are ok tonight. It makes me cry to think I could ever lose the guys, but that's why as parents and friends we have to put everything into perspective - the minor things in our lives that push our buttons and make us mad - are just that - minor and we should just be happy to take another breathe and another step in our lives and have our friends and children by our sides.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when stupid things happen.
