[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 281992, member: 3450"] M, (difficult child 2/easy child) called me yesterday from school--it was the last day of classes. Her classmate, R, was killed in a car accident Thursday night (his car went over an embankment on a hilly road, and hit a tree). The whole senior class was of course upset. What should have been a happy day for them became a very sad day. M wasn't close friends with him but my other dtr was good friends with his sister during school and she remembers him as being a nice, funny kid. I guess he'd been very excited about Senior Prom (tonight) and also graduation is on the 25th. I just feel so sad that he had his whole future ahead of him and was apparently very excited about it. Now what should be a fun, happy time for his classmates has become a very sad time. M says she will try to have fun at the prom but she certainly doesn't feel the same way about it now. My heart just feels sick when I think of what his parents and sister are going through. I kind of know his mom and I remember his sister spending time at our house--I can picture their faces, it's all I can think about. I feel so awful, so does M. We both feel an intense grief even though we are not close to this family. Anyway, Just wanted to check in with my board friends, I know you all can relate to this. Thanks, Jane [/QUOTE]
