Received a very sad news yesterday. A former colleague of mine and her family was in a fatal head-on-collision crash on their way back from spring break. Her husband and youngest son 10 y/o was killed on the spot and her and eldest son 12 y/o is in critical condition, with multiple severe internal injuries & 60% burn, both of the vehicles caught on fire right on collision. She is now at a hospital in New Mexico and her son is in Utah.This tragedy made an impact on me and crushed my heart as I learned about this. Life is short, and we don't know when our time is up. It is very important to always make every second, every moment count, at work, at school, at home. Tell your love ones how much they mean to you and always do good in anything you do, when that time comes there will be no turning back.
When I heard about this I just want to hug my husband & kids tight and tell them how much I love them. I thank the Lord for each day that I wake up and see my family's face, sleeping quietly and safe, ... unharmed. Seeing tragedies like this opens up your eyes and heart to the many blessings, big and small, that otherwise we tend to overlook and ignore. I appreciate life more and the people around me, good or bad. I pray for my colleague and her son, for a speedy physical, mental & emotional recovery.
