Our loss was on April 1, 2005, when my nephew, Christopher, my brother's only child, was killed in a pick-up truck/18 wheeler accident. He had permission from his parents to leave school to get lunch, his dad even gave him money so he would be able to go somewhere to eat lunch. This day his friends were going to our local Taco Bell and he wasn't even supposed to be going, but one of the other boys was caught by the teacher and she wouldn't let him go, so Chris went in his place. It started to rain and as they were going up this hill, their truck hydroplaned and hit an 18 wheeler head-on, killing all three boys in teh pick-up. I had known the other two boys, too and had even worked with one of the boys grandmother and mother. When my sister-in-law came to get me and told me that Chris was dead, it was like I just forgot everything, had to be told how to dress and what to do. It was so hard to believe this boy was dead. He was a beautiful kid and loved me to death. We had a wonderful relationship. To this day, it is still hard to believe he is gone. I go to the cemetary and just sit there sometimes because it is so hard to believe. Sue |
