When someone you love, especially a child leaves the house tell them how much you love them. It might just be the last time that you will ever hear that child’s voice again! Such was the case with the friend of my son.

After leaving the house that day instead of going to school, the friend of my son, along with his friends’ 13 year old brother and 16 year old sister and 2 other children headed to Wilkes-Barre to see President George W. Bush. They never got there. After crossing the center line they were hit head on by a school bus.

The accident closed the roadway for several hours while Pennsylvania State Police investigated the accident. According the The News Eagle, the paper of record the situation required 2 life flights. The 13 year old was pronounced dead at the scene.

The entire school community and surrounding area is devastated by this tragedy. Sometimes days which seem to be so bright and full of the promise of tomorrow never materialize.

Love your children and be kind to others. There is nothing more than that which we might do.

Sometimes

When I feel like the world is slipping away
Like a rope that has been cut loose
When life seems dark and cold
As a feeling of despair creeps in

Sometimes

When no one seems to care
And joy is only a word
Or peace is just a dream
When hate fills the world

Sometimes

When words of hope fall down
Like a man who has failed at life
Because he knows not victory
When darkness is all around

Sometimes

If life seems as nothing
When hope is only a word
And dreams have gone away
When tomorrow never happens

Sometimes

In birth a child fills our heart with joy

Sometimes

In death a child fills our heart with sorrow

Sometimes

Is Sometimes Today

Sometimes

The world is cold
