Re: I became a widow Monday night....

Brook,

I am so very sorry for both you and your children on the loss of your husband.

And seeing those pictures, brought me to tears.

I will keep you and your children in my thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you all.

You have such a way with words, Brook. Anything that I would think to say would just pale in comparison. You and your babies are certainly in my thoughts and prayers.

Enormous hugs and prayers to you Brook. I'm so sorry for your loss and words seem inadequate to convey that.

Brooke, I just read about your loss in Kats journal and wanted to stop by here to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts. I can't even imagine such tragedy. Please take care of yourself.

I could not believe my eyes when I read this...... if I'm in this much shock, it must be almost overwhelming to you. ((((((((((((Brook and kids)))))))))))))))

Re: I became a widow Monday night....

Brook, again I am so sorry for your loss. It was really weird that day I checked my email and someone had emailed me this note. You and your kids were the first thing I thought of when I read it. So I have decided to pass it on. It's very touching.
A Poem That Gives You Goose Bumps...



A drunk man in an Oldsmobile

They said had run the light

That caused the six-car pile up

On 109 that night.

When broken bodies lay about

"And blood was everywhere,"

"The sirens screamed out eulogies,"

For death was in the air.

"A mother, trapped inside her car,"

Was heard above the noise;

Her plaintive plea near split the air:

"Oh, God, please spare my boys!"

She fought to loose her pinned hands;

"She struggled to get free,"

But mangled metal held her fast

In grim captivity.

Her frightened eyes then focused

"On where the back seat once h ad been,"

But all she saw was broken glass and

Two children's seats crushed in.

Her twins were nowhere to be seen;

"She did not hear them cry, "

"And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, "

"Oh, God, don't let them die! "

Then firemen came and cut her loose, "

"But when they searched the back, "

"They found therein no little boys, "
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad

"And was traveling alone, "

"But when they turned to question her, "

They discovered she was gone.

Policemen saw her running wild

And screaming above the noise

"In beseeching supplication, "

Please help me find my boys!

They're four years old and wear blue shirts;

"Their jeans are blue to match.""

"One cop spoke up, ""They're in my car, "

And they don't have a scratch.

They said their daddy put them there

"And gave them each a cone, "

Then tol d them both to wait for Mom

To come and take them home.

"I've searched the area high and low, "

But I can't find their dad.

"He must have fled the scene, "

"I guess, and that is very bad."

"The mother hugged the twins and said, "

"While wiping at a tear, "

"He could not flee the scene, you see, "

"For he's been dead a year."

"The cop just looked confused and asked, "

"Now, how can that be true? "

"The boys said, ""Mommy, Daddy came "
"And left a kiss for you."" "

He told us not to worry

"And that you would be all right, "

And then he put us in this car with

"The pretty, flashing light. "

"We wanted him to stay with us, "

"Because we miss him so, "

"But Mommy, he just hugged us tight "

And said he had to go.

He said someday we'd understand

"And told us not to fuss, "

"And he said to tell you, Mommy, "

"He's watching over us."

The mother knew without a doubt

"That what they spoke was true, "

"For she recalled their dad's last words, "

" I will watch over you."

The firemen's notes could not explain

"The twist ed, mangled car, "

And how the three of them escaped

Without a single scar.

"But on the cop's report was scribed, "

"In print so very fine, "

An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.

"The 7 Second Prayer, Just repeat this phrase and see how God
moves.

"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and
bless my family, my home, my friends, and me. Amen. "
