Why...
My dad called me tonight and told me horrible news.... I'll give you the back story before I tell what happened tonight...
A couple of years ago, Matthew VanRyn was killed when the car he was in was hit by a logging truck. My dad and his dad, Dave, were (and still are) very close friends. They have a huge family and they are all very very close. Matt's death devestated the family. They have incredible faith in God and have to be the friendliest people I've ever met.
Tonight, my dad told me that Laura (Matt's cousin) was involved in the accident in Indiana. A tractor trailer crossed the median and hit the van she and her college mates were riding in. Out of 9, four of them were killed. Laura is now in critical condition. She and some other students riding in the vehicle were thrown from the van. The whole side was ripped from the van.
This family is so wonderful, why do such bad things happen to good people?? I will never understand. And I feel aweful, because they want me to pray for them, but how can I pray when I don't believe??? All I can do is tell them that she is in my thoughts... But, just because I don't believe in God, doesn't mean I don't believe in miracles.... This family needs a miracle, and I hope that Laura makes a full recovery!
