My issues seem so little compared to this.

Everyday it seems like something just gets under my skin…..less often though since I was laid off.

Yesterday our tiny town was rocked pretty hard by tragedy.  3 kids were on their way to the HS and were in an accident with a truck…the trucks load of rolled steel then came loose and landed right on top of the car crushing the drivers side.  The 17 y/o girl driving was killed instantly.  Her younger brother and cousin were hurt badly.

Living in such a small town has it’s advantages…certainly in where everyone knows everbody…but it also hurts in an instance like this for the same reason.

My complaining about lifes ups and downs seems sooooo little and petty compared to what this family is going through right now.  My heart just breaks for them. 

It goes to show not to take things for granted and to hug the ones you love often.

    That is so terrible. I will pray for them and their families. It puts everything into perspective.

    This family is top in my prayers. What a tragic thing to happen :(

    You are so right, we are so blessed and we seem to bicker and complain about all the little things in life. Tragedys like this put life into a different perspective.

    Love Everyone, Love God, Be Happy and Help the Unfortunate.
