ugh so i got horrible news today.
my (3rd) cousin got hit by a car crossing sunrise highway last night in seaford and died instantly.
my mom and her dad are cousins. and they are close so i have met her many times.
i no she is only my 3rd cousin but she was the sweetest girl i have ever met.
knowing that a teenager, expecially one of my own family died is probably the saddest thing.
her dad, grandpa, and aunt are all s taying at my house.
i'm not even gonna be able to look at them when they get here.
looking in the eyes of a family member who just lost their daughter is gonna be one of the hardest things ill have to do.
