It never gets easier to hear about the untimely death of a young person, especially one with whom I’m acquainted.
My dad called a little bit ago with the news that my cousin’s 22-year-old son was killed in a car accident. He was recently married, new father to a baby girl, and a member of the armed services. I have pictures of him as a baby and as a child in my scrapbooks, and, although it’s been years since I’ve seen him, he was still family. His death is beyond devastating to his parents, sisters, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
I also found out on Facebook last night that a former student of mine from Middle Tennessee Christian School was killed in a car accident. He was 30 years old and also much loved by his parents, brother, daughter, and fiancée.
I know I should probably say something spiritual and uplifting about all this, but, right now, it’s just terribly sad and very hard to understand. If you think about it, join me in praying for these two families.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family's loss. Your former student had a big brother who was my classmate. I agree that the news was shocking and sad. We'll be praying in faith as understanding has not, and may not, come.
