I'm sorry to put this here but I have to get it out of my system. Nothing will help though, I feel so shaky and creepy and sad. Something very tragic happened, something out of a bad 50's song or a soap opera. I talked to my sister in law today and she had just come from a funeral. A 20 year old girl neighbor of theirs who had been friends with my nephew and niece got married Sunday. Coming from the church to the reception, lots of happy friends following behind blowing the horns, her new husband looked back for a second, lost control of the car, spun it in the road and they were hit in the passenger side by a car in the other lane. The girl was killed right there in her wedding dress. Chills.
It reminded me of something that happened to another neighbor of theirs years ago. A young groom left his reception to buy booze with his best man. On the way back not far from the house they flipped over and both got killed. My relatives saw them lying there in their pinstripe suits. The best man's wife was in the hospital where she had given birth to identical twins the day before.
Sorry, I don't mean to bum anybody out, I just had to tell the story. She was buried in her wedding dress. Nothing will ever be right again.
I'm still shaking and my heart isn't beating right.
