There are events that happen that make us realize that we take things for granted. Unfortunately, it usually takes a tragedy to put things into prospective.
On wednesday a 15 year old was hit by a car right in front of my workplace while walking through the crosswalk. He was going to meet his mother who works in the same buliding as I do. Him and the driver of the car were killed. According to witness she ran a red light and made no attempt to stop and she went through the crosswalk hitting the boy and 2 other cars.

It makes you realize how quickly our lives can change. Most of the people I work with (including me) walk accross the street to Target all the time and that's how I leave work also. It could have easily been me or someone I know crossing the street.
It makes you want to hold your child and protect him from everything in the world. I didn't know the boy or his mother, but somehow I feel connected. Almost like I hurt for her. I can sort of feel the pain that she is going through.
Do you ever recover from losing a child? How do you move on and function? I don't know if you are ever really the same after something like that.
Please, everyone say a pray for this family.
