Just some tragic yet hopeful thoughts.

So my computer freaked out in the middle of my other post. Oh well. I don't really remember anything else exciting and fun happening.
One thing that happened that was really sad was my Uncle and one of my cousin's little girl was killed. Not at the same time, they happened on a Monday and a Tuesday. Liberty (my cousin's daughter on my Dad's side) was 18 months. She got backed over by a sixteen year old. Can you imagine being that 16 year old girl and knowing you just ran over a little girl. It was a complete and total accident. I never want to go through that. It's made me realize how easily something like that could happen.
The next day we got a phone call from my mom's sister-in-law saying that my uncle had been killed in a head on collision with an 18 year old. I went to school with him, graduated with him, did theatre once or twice with him. It wasn't his fault, it wasn't my uncle's fault. It just happened. I can't even imagine nor do I want to imagine the pain of losing a Father. When my Dad had his double by-pass during Christmas time two years ago I thought about that often. What would I do if something went wrong in the surgery or what if he hadn't gone into the doctor in time. I could have lost him and just the thought was terrifying. I can't imagine it actually happening. Yet it does. To people all over the world.
Today I learned that a girl just older than me was killed in a wreck. She was young, vibrant, married and expecting their first child. It is devastating.
However, am I so glad that I know that families can be together forever. That once again we will be able to see our family members.
Well, I just wanted to share some thoughts that were on my mind.
