Horrible news today *warning very sad*

[AngelinaS]

I don't normally post personal things like this on message boards, but digichick is my second home, and I just feel at a loss. I want to do something, and asking for prayers is the only thing I can think of to do right now that I think will be of any real help.

I just got a phone call from my mom at 7:30 this morning. My sister-in-law's sister's son (did that make sense to you)? Was killed in an accident yesterday. It's unbelievably horrible. My sil and her sister were standing right there about a hundred yards away. Michelle's sixteen year old son (the brother of the boy killed) was driving. They were on the dirt road near my brother's house. He swerved to miss a deer, the truck hit an embankment and flipped. Hunter was thrown out of the truck. He wasn't wearing his seatbelt. They didn't think he needed it going fifteen miles an hour on a dirt road, I guess. He was nine. We just attended his birthday party in May. I feel like I'm in a fog. I keep going back and forth between feeling overwhelmed with emotion and feeling like a zombie. Three of the kids witnessed the accident, and the sixteen year old has been talking about killing himself because he blames himself. They had to take him to the doctor for some medication.

It took ten minutes for the ambulance to get there. Nicki, my sil, was sitting in the middle of the road holding him the whole time. The FREAKING TOW TRUCK arrived five minutes before the ambulance did! WTF! He was still conscious and alive when Nicki got to him. He died before the ambulance arrived. Every time I picture Hunter, I picture him having a water balloon fight with my kids just two months ago. Such a good, sweet, funny, smart boy. I just don't know how his family is going to cope with this. It's just too much to bear.

If you could send up some prayers for his family, I would much appreciate it.

Sorry to be such a downer. Just such a terrible, terrible, difficult day.

[busyizzie]

((((Ange)))))) I'm so sorry for the loss of this young life. I hate hearing this because it strikes so close to home with having boys that age. I hate that something as simple as the thought of not putting on that seat belt had such an affect upon this family. I'll say prayers for all of you. If you need to chat, you know how to get in touch with me.

Please have peace, as you know, he's in a better place.

[AngelinaS]

Thank you all for your wonderful words and prayers. Really, I wanted prayers for Hunter's family to work through all of this, but the fact that so many of you have prayed for me, as well, is touching beyond words. And, I have to tell you all that I felt those prayers. Last night as I fell asleep, I was reminded of the analogy of the ship departing one shore and arriving at another. And, where those of us who watch the departing ship cry tears of sadness to say goodbye, those on the other shore shout for joy and welcome. And, as I was falling asleep last night, another thought came to my mind. It was of Hunter being hugged by Jesus. This might not seems so strange, but I have to tell you, that when I have ever tried to imagine the day we would meet, Jesus was always standing back. I have never imagined touching him, as though a person could just never be good enough to touch him. But, I pictured Jesus hugging Hunter and Hunter being so happy. I hope you all don't think this sounds hokey, but it's what your prayers led me to. I believe that it was your prayers that gave me this sense of peace.

And, I can only pray that they are doing the same for Hunter's family.

So, thank you!

[mamakimberly]

that isn't hokey at all, that is beautiful!!!
