a dear friend of the family and my childhood friend was killed in a car crash this morning. we got a call at 4am to tell us of shiree's death. she was killed instantly in the car crash, she was a passenger and the tree hit and wrapped around a tree. her body will br brought into town tomorrow and her funeral will be soon after. shiree has a daughter who will be two years old this friday. shiree was finally getting her life in order and back on track and she now no longer has a life. her daughter maybe taken away by the state department, but i hope shiree's mother, laura, will get custody. her mother and my mother are broken up and can not stop crying. my mother had to take laura to the hospital to be sudated because of her condition. my mom is so broken up about shiree she can hardly talk and is resting now.
and i have been able to do is cry. i used to visit shiree on my lunch hours when she lived in new london. i used to go see alivia all the time. alivia looks so much like shiree and will now never know her mother. and the father is in and out of jail for un-paid child support.
shiree didn't want to drive last night because she didn't have her driver's liscence yet, she only has a permit and she only drives with her mom in the car. shiree went with a friend and it was foggy last night. she didn't want to get caught driving so she let her friend drive. the friend was older and was driving fast in fog.
the story has been on the news all day and because of it i am not watching tv. i am trying to get my mind off of it, but nothing seems to work. she was only 19 years old.
an accident can happen to anyone, so when parents worry and tell you to drive slow and be careful, they mean it, don't let your parents get the same bad news.....
