It's things like this that suddenly put you and your problems into perspective.
This morning, I was told that Bowden Madden and his dad, John, were both killed in a car accident this weekend on their way back from Tallahassee. This year has been horribly surreal. It's so strange to think about it- Bowden sat right behind me in 5th period. Now he's gone. His dad was the nicest guy; always came to church just by himself. He's gone too. One would think that once you've been through a huge thing like this that something just like it wouldn't be as shocking, but it is. Nothing can lessen the blow that a tragedy like this deals. All I know his that I have a better understanding of how that family feels, having been there myself. I just wish I could've gotten to know him better.
But, lately I've come to realize that you can't regret. The word shouldn't play a role in your mind at all. Once something happens, it becomes a part of you and your experiences; you can't change it. So, you might as well accept it and move on. Change is what happens when you didn't want anything to happen at all.
