Today wasn't the greatest day...I arrived at my baby-sitting job at 8:15 this morning and got out of the car and the dad said, "'Marie' (I'm not going to name the real names...some of you already know who my bosses are...) isn't feeling well today" and I asked why and he told me that one of her bestest best friends died in a car accident last night, and she had just gotten a call this morning about it. And as soon as I walked in the house, Marie was crying really hard on the phone trying to figure out what had happened to her best friend. My heart just about dropped to the floor, just sick for my boss and the loss of her friend. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to lose any of my brethren like that OR my bestest best friend.
What ended up happening to the woman was that she was driving with her husband (he was driving) and she was talking to her daughter-in-law on the phone, and a car on the other side of the road hit some gravel and over corrected itself and went head on into the womans car. Killing her instantly and killing the 19 year old, who was driving the other car, instantly too. The husband survived the crash, and came out with broken ribs and a concussion. What's worse was that the daughter-in-law on the phone was hearing the whole car accident when it happened! I can't even begin to imagine...
the other thing that makes me sad is that the daughter-in-law is pregnant with the womans first grandchild and she was so excited about the baby due next month... :(
Marie had heard around that the 19 year old coulda been texting on her cell phone when it happened. No one will probably know and it probably doesn't matter too much at this point. Anyways, that was really hard to see my boss crying so hard all day while baby-sitting. She ended up staying there with me all day and I watched her kids for her and made her cookies. I felt so helpless the whole day.
It was actually really interesting to see how Marie's oldest daughter took it when she heard that that person had died in the car accident. She just laughed and said , "That's okay! I'll see her in heaven someday and I'll see Raine in heaven too! But that means no more lunches with her, but I'm okay with that because we can do that in heaven!" That was kinda sweet/cute that she was so sure that they'd meet again one day in heaven. Maybe WE should have that attitude when someone we know passes away?
Anyways, everyone be smart while driving. I know you can be the safest driver around and still die in an accident, but texting and talking on the phone can wait until you're parked or at home!
Here is a article of what happened http://www.kezi.com/content/contentID/17631
don't know how long that'll be at that addy, so i'll check it and delete it if it changes.

I was touched by what you wrote. Last night, while talking about what had happened, one of your Bestest friends said that she thought that one of the most painful things we can go through is to lose someone you love, that we share our lives with each other and when that's gone there is such a hole in our hearts. Our visiting Sisters talked about how touched they were by the closeness they saw we shared in this place. As I went to bed It all made me think of how broken hearted I'd feel if just one of you was gone from my life and just the thought of it, made each one become more precious to me.
But I was so comforted this morning by what you said! At least we know if we lose them to the Lord, that we can be comforted and rejoice they are with Him, who's love is greater than we can imagine.
Please let her know we are praying for her.
I love you my dear little Sister
I almost cried when i read this Raine :(. That is so sweet how the little girl took it. Thats how it was for me when my mom told me my dad died. Susie and I had been staying with my Aunt Lisa for the past few weeks and then she took us home. And my mom told me. I didn't believe her at first. I ran around the house calling for him. Then i went into his bedroom and saw the sheets striped off the bed. And then i knew it was true. So i hugged my mom and went and played with my toys. I wasn't sad at all! I knew i would miss him, but i knew that i would see him again, so i wasn't sad :).
Thanks for sharing this with us. I'll continue to pray for them.
