its a sad sad world

[Rising Phoenix]

a good friend of the family, someone I've known since I was 6, had two beautiful children.....Caliegh 5, and Shane, 4. Both were killed in a horrific accident of Friday night. Apparently they were with the mother's twin sister in the car when she went the wrong way down a busy highway, she then pulled over and, at 9 pm at night attempted to cross the highway by foot with the two children in tow....they were struck by two cars and instantly killed. An investigation is pending. I can't go to the wake and funeral, because A I don't think I could handle it, and B I am babysitting my nephew while my brother and sister in law go. Good vibes for the grieving family please......how can life go on?

18. I'm so sorry about this. My husband is a firefighter and he was on

the night of the accident - it happened a couple exits down from the distance they cover. We have been thinking about this poor family all weekend. It is tragic for all involved, the family, friends and for the drivers that hit them.

[Rising Phoenix]

a poor 65 year old woman was the first to hit them.....so sad

26. How awful. I am so sorry

my condolences to everyone involved. I can't imagine the grief, and quite possibly the anger, over this tragedy.

[Rising Phoenix]

27. I just would really like to know WHY

why these innocent children, why did the aunt try to cross the street, why can such a thing happen

[fortyfeetunder]

30. Sometime there are no answers....

in such a tragic loss.
and i am sorry for the families involved

[Flaxbee]

will haunt everyone forever. Inexplicable. Hopefully there will eventually be some comfort from other family members and friends as time passes.

I don't know how people endure this kind of heartache. If those were my kids I think I'd be on a locked ward and on suicide watch. My thoughts and good vibes are going out to everyone wounded by this awful tragedy.

[Rising Phoenix]

I don't know how they will survive so much pain....but God bless them!

[GCP]
