There was this recent incident a few days ago where there was a car accident and two died. They were in the car with four people and the two that died didn't have a seat belt on, and they were the back seat passengers. They tried to swerve past hitting a deer and crashed into a tree. The two that died were mother and daughter; 37 and 14. The mom was my brothers friends mom and the fourteen year old was a girl that I went to school with at Unity Point in 6th grade until she moved to Herrin. I never got close to her but we considered each other as friends.
It was unbelievable. It just couldn't get transferred in my brain and mind that they were actually gone and couldn't come back. Just writing this makes me sad, thinking about all their family and friends who loved and cared for them. How hard it must be for them. The mom was a single parent and she left her sons behind. Some people just think that you have to be super old to die, but that's wrong. Your life can be taken in a matter of seconds. Any day, anytime, and anywhere. It's sad to think but everyone is going to have to go through it; young or old.
