My nephew died in a car accident last night. I'm still in shock. He was 19 and driving the car and was driving at a high rate of speed and lost control going around a curve. He had a friend with him and his friend died too. It's been on the news. It was over here off Hwy. N. The coroners office is still conducting an investigation so we won't be sure when the funeral will take place but we're guessing midweek. I was in fuzzy haze most of the day yesterday until I saw his car on the news...and that's when it hit me. I last spoke to him about 2 weeks and we had always finished our calls with an 'I love you'. I'm so thankful I got to tell him I loved him. I always felt close to him and I felt like a protector of sorts. I know it was impossible to predict, but God, how I wish I could have protected him from this. It's just not natural losing your child. The funeral is this Wed./Thurs up here and then they'll head down to Festus where they'll bury him next to dad.
