Another one of those.. Life is short things

Jul 21, 2008 19:36

So this past weekend, my sister's former teammate Sarah, her mom, and her little sister Hannah (sp?) were driving back from LA from a soccer tournament. They flat tired, hit a divider, and flipped multiple times. Sarah has been released from the hospital, her mom is about to be released, but unfortunately, Hannah passed. She was only in Jr High.
Even though I didn't know them too well, they were a family that I had the occasional encounter with. I don't know why this affects me so much but I'm shocked. I remember dropping her and Sarah off at Sarah's house and seeing her sister. They live in the Mission district and are home-schooled. And I remember picking up a bag of uniforms from Hannah one day. It was a short 5 minute thing but thinking back, she was so young.
I just can't imagine life ending before even getting to high school. It scares me, it's just so sad. I dunno, I'm just.. shocked. A life can end so easily without warning. My thoughts go out to the Welker family :(
