Been a while since I've been here on WS's...
Following this mind mindbogglingly sad accident in the news, I could tell there would be no other place to process it than here. I mentioned it to my dad and I could see that, "I don't want to talk about that" look come over his face... I know it's hard to dwell on such a tragic loss of life long enough to try to feel the treasures our world just lost, (and why!)...
It seems so important to me to do that. And here is the only place I seem to find others who feel as do. I find myself needing to try and take advantage of what these vibrant young people had wanted to share with the world, before their footprints are washed away... I went to all their SM and learned what they were passionate about, and who and how they loved...and "visited" with their families and friends... Kind of felt like...The ghost of happier days past, doing that...but I do feel like I got a bit of time with them that will be inaccessible to those who did not know them in real life, before too long.
And I learned some things. (These were certainly bright, dynamic people!). And I could not help but think to myself, that as Erin Vertucci reached out in text, to share her dismay at the poor condition of the "limo" ( Oh my Lord, I hate calling it that! It was a HEARSE! for God's sake and the people responsible KNEW it! Oh Uhhgg! ), As Erin saw, the bad shape of the... vehicle... so much opportunity was lost by those who boarded such a rickety ride...If something looks unsafe, AVOID getting aboard people, don't be embarrassed to make a scene or think about expense.
Never assume a for profit company is legit just because they are in business.
I wish they had demanded the driver pull over and all just got out!
They must have known, as they picked up speed on the hill, instead of slowing... what lie ahead.
How utterly terrifying.
