Dear friend,
I have so many questions and emotions because of the past week. I thought it would be a good idea to write them in a letter to you. We missed you in class on Tuesday. You always add such interesting comments to our class discussions. On Thursday I was surprised to see you absent again. When Dr. M. announced at the start of class that you had been in a terrible car accident many things raced through my brain. I knew that on Monday the University lost power and the computer system was also down all over campus due to a utility pole being knocked down. Dr. M went on to explain that you had hit the pole and were in very bad shape in the Intensive care unit, unconscious and possibly brain damaged. You may lose a leg too because you were ejected from the car on impact and the car then landed on you. I thank God that a fellow student, who is an EMT was nearby. Dr. M. said you would not be alive if the EMT was not present at the accident scene.
I wonder friend. Were you speeding? What caused the accident? Will you recover? Will I ever speak to you again? I have known you only as a fellow classmate, yet I am deeply sadden by your tragedy. Dr. M asked us all to pray for you. I will keep you, the family and your care givers in my prayers. You are such a bright light. I pray that you continue to shine.
God Bless you friend, in love and light,
John ( I sit two rows ahead and to the right of you in social theory)
