How Quickly Life Can Change

(I had to post about this. I had to write about this. I am heart broken for this woman and her family.)
October 7 th --
I watched the news footage live of you being taken out of your car in that intersection, and hearing that the poor woman who was in the car, so badly destroyed, was a pregnant woman with twins and my heart ached for that woman. I couldn’t imagine and I silently prayed for her and her unborn babies.
October 14 th --
A few days later I heard on the news that that same woman and her husband had lost of on the twins and my heart ached even more. I couldn’t believe it and my husband and I prayed for your family over dinner that evening. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I kind of knew that person.
Today --
I wondered why you hadn’t been blogging, but never did I think I would read what I read this morning. I sat here sobbing after the first paragraph because suddenly I knew the poor woman in that car, the woman I have been praying for each night. Words can’t describe the heartache I have for you and your loved ones. I am speechless. I can’t imagine what you are going through. Life can change in an instant.
---------------------------
This is so hard. This poor woman. This poor family. Those poor little miracle babies. I am numb over this. Anything can happen in an instant. Never did I think in a million years that the woman whose blog I read each day, her getting ready for twin boys, me getting ready for triplet girls, (both conceived from IVF) and then suddenly it's gone in an instant, something you had no control over.
We all think we're invincible sometimes, that life is just given to us, but it is not. You go the mall just to pick something up, you drop something off at the post office and then something happens, you turn your head for a minute, you go to bed mad...whatever it may be, you never know.
I know God had a higher plan for this woman's son. I believe that, I have to, it's the only way I can somewhat comprehend it. Bu still I cannot imagine what she must be going through. How do you go home to a nursery full of stuff for twins? How do you move on from loosing a child? I can't begin to imagine, my heart just hurts for all those that have had to go through it. You are much strong women then I could ever be.
Please send some love to this woman and her family. Please, I ask you to pray for her.
