Please Pray

This morning after I finished writing the post below I walked into the kitchen to get it tidied up before I headed to the laundry mat.

Sebastien came running out of his room screaming and crying….
He got a call this morning from a friend letting him know that a group of his friends had been in a roll-over and left one of them dead.

They were coming down a road from the mountian at 80mph…the other people in the car kept asking David (the driver) to slow down. He didn’t. The tire snapped off and the car rolled 5 times.

David was not wearing a seatbelt so on the first roll he was partially hanging out the drivers side window, the car landed on him on the second roll. Then on the third roll he was fully ejected from the car.

Once the car stopped rolling, Scott (the boy who was in the wreck with Sebasiten in ‘03) got out and found David in a nearby field laying in a pool of blood, Scott held his hand and lifted his head out of the pool of blood. David coughed twice and then was gone.

A young life, dissapeared in a matter of seconds. Seconds.

Sebastien told me he was getting ready to leave the house where they were all hanging out. He said:

“I had just saw him [David]. I just talked to him. I shook his hand and said goodbye before he got into the car with everyone.”

Little did he know that the handshake he gave to David was his final goodbye.

I ask that if you are reading this, if you are young or old, please please please listen to me. Drive safely, wear your seatbelt, love your life enough to take care when driving. And please love each other, always give your friends a goodbye worthy of being their last. Pray for Davids spirit, pray for the other kids in that car, pray for Scott who was the last person on this earth to be in the company of David, pray for all the people out there driving, pray for saftey.

David, may you find peace where you are, may the afterlife be kind to you and the sunlight shine down on you always and forever. Rest in peace.
