I hear that a lot, but I just feel like I'm being a baby.... I know so many people that would pass these poor people over... my mom told me, and I honestly lost my breath... I was so heart broken for these kids, I just want to go find them and hug them and cry with them... It's just not fair.
No you're not being a baby. It is a horrible tragedy, and it touches everyone who hears about it.
Just this past weekend, I heard of an accident near my husband's hometown. 4 young men (19-22) were driving back from Atlantic City--one had just returned from Iraq, and they went for the weekend to celebrate. On their way home, another car smashed into them, and all 4 of them died. The driver of the other car had been drinking, and only came out with a couple of scratches.
I cried for a while when I heard this one. The poor kid survived his duty in Iraq, only to come home to good old America to be killed by a drunk driver.

Anyway, I will of course keep these children and the sheriff in my prayers.
