Life..

2 people died today on a road that I might happen to drive on about 5 days out of 7 and more than once on some days.  It appears as though a driver had a heart attack while driving, veered into the other lane and crashed with an on-coming car.  There were no skidmarks...no reminders...no notice... WOW... how horrible.

I cannot even fathom something like this happening to my family and friends.  I heard the 2 people who died were older... but it doesn't make it any less horrible.  My heart goes out to the families of the deceased even though I have no idea who they are.  It makes me grateful for my family and friends and makes me want to "Seize the day" so to speak.  NO REGRETS, you know??

One of my biggest fears is dying... and not just dying.  But leaving this world with regrets and/or leaving with those around me not knowing how I feel about them.  I hope to live a very long fulfilling life.  I want to experience everything my children have to offer and I want to grow old with my husband.

I don't know what else to say.  I am truly sorry but at the same time thankful... is that strange??  I am sorry for the families affected but am thankful no one I know was hurt.  There are too many tragedies in this world to 'just get by'.  You know??

The mom of one of the babies I watch was coming to my house on this road to pick up her baby.  She missed this tragic accident by minutes.  I cannot fathom this.  I think I might be freaking out a bit.

Again, I can't think of anything else to say.  Please, go LIVE!!  Enjoy your time here on earth with NO REGRETS!!  Advice even I, myself, need to follow.
