It has been a sad weekend. Found out Saturday that my cousin (from my mom's side)

lost his 19 year old son in a car accident and that he was with his girlfriend and she was also killed. As hard as it is to believe, his girlfriend is the daughter of my other cousin (from my father side). She was 18 or 19 years old as well.
I haven't been able to think of anything else all weekend, I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow they are going through. My prayers go out to them so they can find their way through this tragic event. So if you have children (especially young adults who are going out into the world on their own) give them a big embrace and tell them you love them. Life is hard to explain sometimes.
Thanks for listening and a few prayers for them would be appreciated,
hugs
Michelle

Thank you,
It is difficult because I live 1000 kilometers away and in times like these distance is terrible,

Thank you Bettina,
I lost my brother 27 years ago and he was 19 years old also, I remember the toll it took on all of us but I think my mother never recovered from it, he was the baby of the family, terrible time for them

So sorry for the families, Michelle. I understand, as I attended a memorial service yesterday for my great niece, age 29, who died unexpectedly. Such a loss of a vibrant happy young lady, and my heart ached for my nephew (her dad), her mother, and the rest of the family.

Thank you Babie,
We take life for granted and when something tragic like this happens, it makes us take time to look at the big picture and appreciate those dear to us,

Thank you Sarah,
When my mom passed away in August, my cousin (father of the young man) could not bring himself to see her at the funeral home even though he was very close to her. I cannot imagine how he will deal with this,

How sad for your double loss - it is hard enough when young ones pass, but you caught it on both sides. YOung kids think that they are invincible-and do not think that something like this could happen. Pryaers to your family - both sides.

There is no explanation for why such tragedies happen, as much as we ask why. I feel so very sad reading this, sorry but I can't find the words today Michelle, this is just too cruel.
