Thank You

I still can't believe how many people emailed me for links to the local news and also sent along prayers, reiki, positive wishes.

Since this is technically off-topic for the year, this will be my last post on the bus crash.

What happened?
A van with an unlicensed, 23 year old driver at the wheel was traveling (very fast, though that's not yet "confirmed"), ran a stop sign and broad-sided the bus. The bus tipped over onto a pickup truck. The driver of the van has been arrested.

4 children died. A third grader, a fourth grader, and two 13 year olds. Two that died were brothers. All the other injured are in stable/fair condition, with the exception of our friend's son who is still in ICU.

There were more than 20 ambulances on the scene, 4 helicopters, more fire trucks and rescue rigs than could be counted. One of the boys (who has a pelvis that's broken in 3 places) was helping to round up the kids from his mom's daycare at the scene, he was up and walking around trying to help. To say that the heroism displayed that day is staggering would be a gross understatement.

To say that it's a miracle that more weren't seriously hurt or killed would be an even bigger understatement.
