My thoughts about today, Friday 6/7

[PacificBlue]

Things can change in an instant. One of my friends was killed in a head on collision this morning. I've walked around most of the afternoon in shock. I've tried to ignore what I know is the truth and act as if nothing is wrong. I keep thinking it isn't real and just a very bad dream or prank. When I allow myself to think about it, I find it difficult to breathe and my eyes fill with tears. I took a long walk this evening because I could. I felt the wind, rain, and later sunshine on my skin. I feel so small when I realize it could all end tomorrow.

Hug someone, because you can. Tell someone you love them, because you can. Take time to enjoy the weekend, because you can.

We aren't here forever.

PB,

I am so sorry for your loss. Having experienced a few abrupt losses in my life, these lessons are hard to learn.

Live each day to the fullest.

Be well,

hugs

When I read your thread title, I was going to post that today sucked.

But my day wasn't in the same ballpark as yours. I'm sorry you lost your friend.

Thank you for the reminder. Life is precious.

My deepest sympathy for you Blue.

Hugs PB... sorry to hear the bad news....

I try to live each day as if it is the last, because of two rules.

1) Things happen
2) The world goes on regardless

But you are right, never miss a chance to let the people in your life know you care about them.

PB.......

Sorry for your loss. Remembering is the highest tribute we can give to friends and loved ones. Never forget!

Somehow, being up at 3:30am with a crying baby doesn't seem like such a chore anymore.

I'm so very sorry, PB. This has been a terribly shocking and dismal week for you, a hard week that was made inexpressibly worse by this tragedy.

You'll need some down time around this.
Take it easy this weekend okay, E?
~hugs~

Thank you to all who responded. It's going to be ok. The funeral will be early next week. The shock is gone today and it is what it is. Ironically, a friend who did not know her saw the accident on the way into work. I learned information that I might not of otherwise known. Doesn't make it better but does make it easier. I don't have children of my own but what I do know is that I can't think of a pain quite so sharp as to be witness not only the birth of your child and then their death as well. I knew her for 13 years... I watched her grow up. In my mind, I have two pictures. One of the little girl and one of the beautiful woman she grew into.

Everything else that happened this week pails in comparison. I have nothing more to complain about... I'm still here.
