my god i hate spring so freaking much.
spring is and foremost, will be the worst time of year for my family+i. & today, for my dear chapmans. some of the sweetest people that have ever entered my life. steven, marybeth, emily, caleb, willy frank, shaohannah hope, stevey joy, & maria sue.
their dear child, maria, five-years-old, was hit by a car today, suffering with severe, critical injuries. her injuries, sadly, led to death.
i can't explain to you how shocked i was by this news. this little girl, although i've only met her+her family once, is knowingly, one of the happiest, biggest balls of energies. & knew so well about God for her small age.
my family+i couldn't help but say, "oh my god" over and over again. i'm dead serious when i say this is all we STILL can say, although we heard the news a few hour ago.
this is the most horrible thing that could have happened to this family, but what makes things worse, is their youngest son, will franklin, 17, was the one that ran over her. steven, the father, watched this, but could not get to dear maria in time.
willy frank is one of the most genuine people i've ever known. he makes life fun, & i know i have alot of jonas brothers fans on my f-list, y/y? he is like the joe of the family. he's deeply funny, has a heart of gold, and is a true man of god. he really could not hurt a fly.
i'm still so in shock over this news, that i can't even cry. i re-read the articles in my head over and over again, but it's like i'm hearing it for the first time. i don't even know where to begin.
i just saw this sweet girl back in september. so full of life, so happy. i want more than anything to bring this cherub face back, but the only thing i can do+you can do, is PRAY. please, anyone that has read this, please, pray.
**willy frank+maria in the middle. holding onto each other.**
