There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

The unfortunate circumstance that arises in our lives sometimes is that we are left to deal with what is left when we loose someone dear to us. The unimaginable pain that arises when someone that we love so dearly has met a tragic end. When a life is cut short too soon before it has time to blossom, to fully live. We get so busy in our lives sometimes they just become all about routine. It comes down to days filled with work, taking care of others, going to appointments, taking care of the house, errands..just to get through to the next day and do it all over again. Kids are rushed to school in the mornings and rushed to bed at night. You are lucky some days to be able to take a look in the mirror or perhaps look around and remember what all this madness is for. We get caught up in materialistic things..in ourselves. Talk to people all day long every day without wondering who they are, what their story is..fact is few of us care. You meet a lot of people in your life and some of them you may know for a lifetime and others tend to make an appearance and then they are gone.
Looking back at how young we were as girls, we were just coming of age, dealing with puberty and trying to figure it all out (much like we are now). We all faced the challenges and misgivings that High School and young adulthood brings. Some of us married young and started families when we were babies ourselves, some of us went onto college and most of us found love..sometimes we were fortunate to perhaps find it more than once. We became mothers ourselves and are now in the midst of our lives..our late 30's raising children.. taking care of others, just trying to do the best we can and hope someone, anyone values us and appreciates it


It is okay to start all over again to seek happiness and to follow our heart. Most of us can say we trust ourselves enough to do that but only those who are strong, who perhaps have had to do it not by choice but have learned a valuable lesson in picking themselves back up know how hard it truly can be sometimes. A woman like the ones I am speaking of was a friend a long time ago before life took us in different directions. The type of friend in middle school that you get to know, spend time with, laugh and cry with and then move on from for reasons you forget over time. She was involved in a horrible accident in our old neighborhood last Saturday. The accident was of the worse kind in that it was senseless. She wasn't driving while under the influence ... she didn't turn in front of an oncoming car..she was driving on a rainy Saturday morning with her two children. She was probably running errands..maybe going out for a cup of coffee..maybe breakfast. She just came back to town a couple days prior to live after having been away for some time. She was probably having what would have been her last conversation with her daughter when it happened. Who knows if they ever even saw him coming. He was one of those people for whom you look at and think this could have been preventable. He had a laundry list of traffic violations but somehow was still behind the wheel of a vehicle. He probably hadn't slept in days like most of the scumbags who waste their soul on meth. He was a sick man who tried to buy time with a 6 year old girl on Craig's List and do horrible things to her. This probably wasn't the first time he had done this but somehow he was free. Free to be barreling down Cactus Rd in the early hours of the day running red lights. Did he not see the cars coming, was he on a suicide mission or had days of drug abuse and no sleep make an already sick man not recognize the reality of what he was doing. This we probably will never know. He just kept on going faster and faster as people tried to alert authorities until he hit her. Her beautiful children would be thrown from her vehicle. It all happened so fast that she may not even realize or remember. Witnesses said the accident sounded like the loudest thunder they have ever heard. Her daughter was the same age as her mother when we were friends. She even looks striking like I remember her mother when she was a girl.Her son is fighting for his life separated from his mother who remains in critical condition at another hospital. It is amazing to look at what is left of their vehicle and think that anyone could live through that.But somehow he did, as a matter of fact he only spent a precautionary night in the hospital before he was moved to jail the following morning, where he should have been in the first place. Her daughter passed away in what one would assume and could only hope was instantaneously. Just like one of us I can only imagine she loved her more than life itself as mothers do. She will physically heal eventually but never emotionally. Getting back to her life will be a challenge as she learns to try and live without one of her children. I can only hope she has no memories from that horrible day when he took her life. She will struggle and hurt and find that she will need to be strong, if not for herself but for her other children, especially her son who will be forever changed by this. If we can just hold her in our hearts and our thoughts and send this loving and caring energy her way maybe just maybe she will be comforted by it, if even just a little bit. Her daughter that passed away is said to have loved rainbows as most of us did when we were little girls.They said that a rainbow could be seen above where the accident occurred after she had passed away. I am posting a few pictures of my favorite most beautiful rainbow photos and hope that you do too, please feel free to link them if you'd like I would love to see them and know that if even for a moment others are remembering this beautiful little girl



Finally this woman needs to have the time to heal herself and her family during this tragic time. She doesn't need to worry about having to jump right in and try and find means to support herself and her family. She doesn't need to worry about how she is going to afford a proper funeral for her daughter. The only thing she needs to worry about is getting better and getting through this. In time, she will. It is going to be one of the hardest things she will probably ever have to face. but she is strong and she will survive.
Many of us waste money on unnecessary things whether it be the coffee shop or an extra pair of shoes we don't need or a meaningless meal out. We can all spare a little bit to give a little comfort and hope to this poor mother and her young son so please make a deposit of whatever you can spare, even if it's just a little bit it all adds up and would be greatly appreciated. She may never know nor be able to thank everyone but if there was ever anyone who needs it it is her...right now.
You can read the story of this tragic accident and find the deposit information below..Please also hug your loved ones a little tighter get rid of the people that don't matter and waste your time..know the difference...slow down..turn the TV off read them a book..eat that piece of cake..do what makes you happy no matter what... think about this beautiful woman and for god sakes tell your children you love them.. every day
