Hurting in Huntsville
if anyone is a news watcher then no matter where you are in the country you may have heard about the tragic accident here in huntsville. i found out about it at around 11:00 this morning and the tv's at work were on the rest of the day so that we could be updated on what was going on. news like this is so hard to take even though i didn't know anyone in the accident personally. while i don't have children i can't imagine putting my child on a school bus and then not seeing them again. there were a number of times today that thinking about it made me start to cry. i just ask that you keep the families of these three young girls in your thoughts and prayers as well as the rest of the students that were involved. there's going to be lots of grieving people here in huntsville and they will all need your prayers.

it's so sad... even those words seem trite. i cannot even imagine what those families are feeling or going through right now.
ReplyDeletethanks for posting ... I hadn't heard. doesn't make sense that school buses don't need seatbelts. kind of like if you're under 2 you can sit on a lap on an airplane. strange. reminded me of a couple accidents we experienced when i was very small when my mom was a school bus driver. not fun.
ReplyDeletewe just never know how long we have on this earth with our loved ones -- hard to remember that from day to day.
i know. i hate that we don't really think about appreciating our family and loved ones until something like this happens. thanks for your comments, encouragement and prayers.
