One of my greatest fears is that something will happen to one of my girls. I worry that they might get hurt physically. I worry that they might get hurt emotionally. I worry that they will be sad. I worry that they won't have happy memories. Basically, I worry! As a parent, my biggest goal in life is to keep my children safe. How to accomplish that goal, not sure. I can't imagine how it would feel to have one of my children hurt or taken from me. I do know that my heart would be very sad, as it is now.
On 08-18-08 my cousin Kassie and her two boys were driving to school. Just like any other day. A mom can relate: getting kids up & ready early, rushing out the door, hurry/hurry don't want to be late. These are the usual things I'm doing on a school day. And then... a horrible accident. A moment in time that will forever change EVERYONE. Kassie, at age 27 and her son Jerym, age 8 were killed. Her son Jace, age 6, was flown to Primary Children's Hospital. www.kcsg.com/news/local/27091484.html
At that moment, time stopped and things changed for the Pectol & Lee Families. My heart is heavy and sad as I think of the loss of a mother and her children. My love & prayers go to her family! And, my hope, is that my memories & time will make our hearts less sad...
