So sorry for your loss…

Those words mean well, but, to me, right now, and my ex sister-in-law turned good friend, I don’t think they even touch us. I can’t even imagine the loss she is feeling right now. Her beautiful, wonderful, sweetheart of a daughter was killed by a drunk driver last night. The horrible accident could have been prevented by a phone call to a taxi company, a caring friend who might have taken the driver’s keys, an Uber app, a Lyft app, or even a sleep before he went behind the wheel. Such a loss of life. So close to home, I just can’t stop thinking about her. I loved my niece dearly, I wanted to see her provide a great life for her daughter. I had it rough being a single mom too and I always tried to be encouraging to her in whatever way I could. I remember sending her and her daughter a box of arts and crafts stuff that I didn’t need anymore, just so they could spend some quality time together, without having to go to the store or look up things to do. I hope they got to share that time together. I want to take the hurt away from my good friend Vicki, I want to make things better for her daughter Tianna, but I’m afraid there is nothing I can do. Except pray for them to be touched by Nicole’s life. I feel the extreme loss and sadness for them. It hurts, but doesn’t even compare to what they are feeling right now. Hold on tight. Our days are numbered. Love now, love hard. Make time count. Use the good china on a Monday night hot dog dinner. Use the silver. Make tents and forts on the living room floor, (I imagine Nicole doing this with Tianna, she was a fun girl!) She always called me her crazy Aunt Joyce, I hope she had time to be crazy with Tianna. I love you Nicole and the world is a darker place because you aren’t in it anymore.
