Its been a hard two weeks

Last Saturday morning Kristy Batemen, age 18 died in a car accident.
I went to high school with her. I knew of her, but we were not close friends.

Last Saturday night, my friend Jesse Fankhouser age 19 got hit by a car, was had a seizure and was life flighted to the hospital. He has some brain damage, quite a bit of memory loss and horrible road rash. I'm grateful he is okay and that it wasn't any worse.

Last Wednesday Afternoon, my best friend Loren Waters Age 19 (This happened the day before her 19th birthday) was attending Snow College. She got in a car accident, the total impact of the accident was 140 miles per hour. Her seat belt and air bag saved her. She is extremely lucky to be alive. God was with her that day. Her wheel well broke her foot and ankle in three different places, her steering wheel was close to her foot as well, her dashboard was a foot away from her. I am very grateful she lived. I prayed and thanked God for keeping her safe.

Last Friday Morning, two sisters, Micah (21) and Shilo (19) Edwards, (two friends of mine from Jr. high and High School. Also attending Snow College, rooming together) Slid on black ice and into oncoming traffic. They were both killed instantly. They had been on their way home so Shilo and her Fiance could pick out an engagement ring. I attended their funeral yesterday. It was amazing how many people came to celebrate the lives of these two girls. They had touched the lives of many, many people. They will be missed by many.

My friend Loren actually got in an accident in the exact same place the Edwards girls did, just two days before, and it wasn't because of the weather.

Monday my family's beloved cat Licorice was hit by a car and killed. She was our cat for 11 years!! Such a sweet cat she was. She will be very missed.

I'm grateful my other two friends are okay. My heart is broken for the families of the girls who have been taken away from this life. Although they are now in a better place and have no worries like we do. I pray those families can heal and get through these trying times in one piece.
