The sadness of the world.

My cousin died yesterday at the tender age of only 24, his name is Seth. He lives in Utah. He was on his way home from work at 1 am and his friends were behind him. He started to go fast and they didn't so when they got around the corner his car had flipped. And since it's winter and Utah get's snow I take it was slippery. They think he might have fallen asleep at the wheel. So they called 911 and his parents and took him to the hospital. He had A LOT of BAD head injuries and internal ones too. They didn't think he would make it through the night but he did. And then they were only keeping him alive to harvest his organs. Because he wanted to be an organ doner, which is good and all but I'd rather him be here using his own organs, not someone else. They announced him brain dead and they couldn't do anything, which upset me since we are so advanced in medicine. But I understand. Even if he did survive who knows how he could have turned out? Maybe it was better and hopefully now he is in a better place. I will miss him a lot and I wish I could have seen him sooner then two years ago. But when it's your time, it's your time. And I just wish he felt no pain and that he is with God. His service is on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. So I won't be here for about 3 days or so. And I will be in Utah. So I ask that you just pray for my family because we are all so very shocked and hurt. I can't imagine how his parents and siblings feel. I have been crying a lot today but not as much as yesterday. I cried my self to sleep and fell asleep with the tissues box next to me. When I woke up I was crying. I hate this I just keep thinking he is here and he is ok. And that yesterday was just an awful nightmare. But it wasn't.
