A friend died

[IvoryRain]

This is all crazy, and terribly sad.

Last Friday on my way home from work I saw *something* happen on the road, but it was still way ahead of me. Before I got up to the area emergency vehicles were already coming. I was directed toturn around and take an alternative route home.

I figured a deer was hit.

Monday when I went to work I heard about a *stupid 18 year old* that was killed. Aparrantly he was standing on a sideboard (I think) when the truck was going about 60mph. He fell off and was ran over.

Today I'm home from work, not feeling good. I checked my e-mail and Mom had sent me a message starting with:

I have some bad news. Do you remember Mark ****, the kid you babysat when he was a baby, the one that you taught how to tie his shoes when he was four....

Why on earth do stupid actions have to end with such harsh results? Mark was a great kid, full of joy and love. It always amazes me, what idiots people can be, but even more - it hurts how some are not given a second chance to see the error of their ways.

I vowed long ago NOT to cry at anymore deaths of people I know, but that just isn't the case here. Mark just had so much to offer the world.

I'm so sorry for your pain. I know it must hurt to see someone die so needlessly. It's okay to grieve when people die.

Sorry to hear that. I have not had this happen so I cant really relate on a personal level, but It must be hard. Greaving does not make a person weak, nor does crying. Dont feal ashamed to do either.

i'm so sorry i don't know why things happen like that. i wish he could've had a second chance.

sorry.

 

[Jesus-is-the-1]

I'm so sorry to hear your loss. My heart goes out to you. It is okay to cry, sometimes it is a good way to let out frustration.

Its just show that everything is under God controls......My dad passed away 12years ago from misjudging by doctors in hospital after he had a serious car accident, ofcoz I cried like a baby as I'm only 9yrs old at that time, but after I'm mature enough,I realised that everythings just run accordings to God's plan which you might not know now. Prays for every family in this world who lost someone they love.

 

[RickiAnn]

Wow. That is awful. I've mourned a few deaths myself, but none have been this tragic. I pray for you and all who were close to Mark. Just remember, anytime you need comfort or reassurance, just come to CF. There are so many people here that can and will be very willing to help you. And remember, you can always turn to God for help.
