Sad News in Oakland

Oakland Illinois.

A serious car accident over the weekend ended the life of these 2.



Good-looking kids.

Bright futures ahead of them.

The girl's obituary mentioned that she was a cheerleader.

15 and a cheerleader.

Just like our oldest.


I have no idea what caused the accident.

But seeing this happen saddens me deeply.

I can't live my life in fear of something like this happening to our kiddo.  I/we can only do my/our best to raise her right and to instill in her the importance of making wise choices.


Trying to imagine what their families are going thru is impossible for me.

Peace unto them.

Out for now.......
