I am overcome with such raw sadness. Another young, bright, well-rounded, and gorgeous kid has died from our area. I didn't know him and I don't know his family but it still breaks my heart that his life was so abruptly halted. I feel such empathy for his parents who are probably in a state of disbelief. It brings me back to my brother's death and the pain and heartbreak of losing someone so awesome. I am sick to my stomach imagining how it must feel to lose your child.
This tragedy has been on the minds of so many. Every conversation, with every person I have talked with since yesterday involved talk about this kid, the accident, his parents, etc. Through all those conversations, I have talked and listened without ever shedding a tear. Until now. Now I just looked up the RIP site on facebook for him and now it brings a reality to it. You see pictures of him at a track meet, at a dance, with friends. There's even a comment from him on one of the pictures. Now it is real. This was a real kid, with real parents, who had the whole world before him. Now the tears are flowing, my heart is breaking, and the question of WHY is repeating itself in my head.
