Well, another tragedy has affected my life. Tuesday before last I was only one of many whose lives were touched by a terrible, freak accident which took the lives of two good people. It happened on a local secondary road. One of my cousins was driving his pickup truck and hit head on into the path of a high school classmate of mine. It happened on a bridge crossing the river so neither had no where to go. How often would that happen that you would know both parties of such a terrible accident? Both vehicles burst into flames and they both died from the fire, not the impact! He was 17 days thereabouts from graduation and had already landed a job. He was a good ol country boy who loved hunting, trucks, family and music. She was a very nice friend and a wonderful wife and mother. Her husband was following behind her and tried in vain to save her amid her cries for help. My cousin made one last phone call on his cell phone to a family member to tell them of his impending fate. Such a tragic loss to the community. So many of the first responders knew one or both of them. It's just been a real hard time for everyone. Both of them had hundreds of mourners who paid their respects, it was so touching. Each was also eulogized at the other's service. Well, I just wanted an avenue to vent my feelings. Thanks for your interest. Have a Blessed weekend.
