This time of year is hard for me... On May3 ten years ago, I lost a very good friend in a car accident.. It was a freak accident. Her and her boyfriend had just signed letters of intent to go to Sam Houston state and were coming home from her grandparents house, where they had had dinner. Her parents were a few cars behind them driving home also. Those two kids were so much in love it was soo unbelieveable. As they were driving and talking and laughing, a horse had broke away from an arena and was headed for the highway.. Sarah's boyfriend never saw the horse.It got spooked by the headlights and it lunged at the truck. Her boyfriend was unable to get out of the way fast enough. the horse came through the windshield on the passenger side of the truck. The horse thrashed around each time kicking Sarah in the chest. She died before they could get her to the hospital.. Her parents were there with her when she died. I dont remember ever being so sad as I was when I heard about her. The irony is that Sarah was a horse lover... She grew up riding horses, she barrel raced, so it seemd very ironic that a horse would be the one thing that took her from us. The funny thing is, across the street from where she is buried is barrel racing practice arena....

I had another friend, one I had known since she was 10, die 2 years and one day shy of the day that Sarah died. I went to school with her sisters. Keri was three weeks away also from graduating high school. Her parents had left the thursday befroe to go to Hawaii for their anniversary. I had seen her before they left and watched as she begged her dad to let her go. He wouldnt budge cause she had school. Well she got scared the saturday night after they left and she went to go to her sisters house, 25 miles away.. she never made it. Noone really knows what happened, but they think some of her friends were being mean and were chasing her. she had a head-on with a Ford Explorer..Her camaro crushed her. Her crash not only killed her but a 10 year old girl as well. it killed me... I cried for days and days. I didnt understand why two beautiful young girls could be taking so soon from all of us.... Ironic that keri had been at Sarah's funeral only 3 years before and had sat next to me and her sister...

Thinking on it makes me knot up inside. I miss them both soo much. When I hear the Kenny Chesney song " Who you'd be today" I cry!

I love you Sarah and Keri! Thanks for watching over me and my family!!!!!
