DEATH

 I can not process the idea of someone dying. Like, it breaks my brain to imagine a clicking clock- Tick Tock-Tick Tock- counting down. 60, 59,58,57 seconds until it’s over. 

I’ve lost many people in my life, grandparents, parents, three best friends…

But last week I lost one of my Birds. A 21yr old girl whom I had coached from the age of 8 through 18. Sharing a name with one of my daughters. 

If anything is true, I loved my birds. With my husband traveling I’d spent more time with them in a gym playing and practicing volleyball then I did with him! I love my birds.

She was trying to pass a truck and hit another truck head on. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Nobody else was injured. 

There will be a “ Celebration of Life” in a couple of weeks. So we’ll be taking the drive up there then swinging by somewhere in the Falls. The incredibly sad thing is that my girls won’t even know that we will be there. How stupid is that. Things like this happen in the blink of an eye and I just cannot imagine families breaking up over nothing and now our close friends don’t have their daughter.  My kids should remember what’s really important in life. Such a loss.

Look to the moon’

Me.
