So Sad

I just read a sad article on usatoday.com. A 16 year old girl was trying to commit suicide by driving her car straight into oncoming traffic. She struck a vehicle and the 30 year old mother of three who was driving it died, and her 6 year old daughter suffered injuries, but the teen who caused it had only a broken ankle! This makes me so angry because an innocent family has been devestated all because of the stupid actions of a suicidal girl. What kind of an idiot decides to kill themselves by crashing into another car? Does it never once cross their mind that they might hurt or kill the other people in that car? Yes, I know they are depressed, I know they are not thinking clearly, but it would only take a tiny fraction of brain power to realize that crashing into an innocent person will hurt more than just yourself. There are so many ways to commit suicide, why involve other people? It really hits home because I am a 30 year old mother of (almost) three. This could have been me. This poor woman's children have been robbed of their mother for a completely senseless reason.

That is terrible. Kind of reminds me of my friend's death. Being hit by someone going 100 miles per hour--Of course this person was not trying to hit them. Just a reminder this is not our home.
