You say it best...

When you say nothing at all...

The past week has been very sobering to me.

I am a compassionate person...sometimes it is one of my stronger qualities...and sometimes it is my downfall.

I was on the way to work on Wednesday when I was redirected...it was about 3:05...

At 3pm an accident happened that claimed the life of a young lady of only 16 years.

SIXTEEN

Tears well up just thinking about what that number means...

no prom...

no homecoming...

no Sadie Hawkins...

no graduation...

no college...

no spring breaks...

no college graduation...

no wedding...

no babies...

no words...

Shakespeare once said that grief is a selfish emotion...and I believe that.

My faith tells me that when someone dies, they go to heaven.

How can I be sad for that...for them to get to experience that...

I am sad for this little girl's sister. She was in the car with her when she passed. She and her best friend...and they made it.

I am close to my sister.

I could not imagine...I wouldn't want to.

As you say your prayers please include these little girls in them.

Lauren, the girl who passed, was a Rangerette (high school dance team) and said to be an incredible young woman. She has many friends and family that are hurting for her. Please pray for them.

After the dance team met with they came to my establishment.

I didn't have words for these girls.

I have felt their pain.

I am only 26 and I have dealt with this 10 times or more...it doesn't get any easier...

but a kind gesture goes a long way...so I comp'd their bill.

Sometimes we say it best...

When we say nothing at all.
