Uninspired, but important

10/30/04 | by Sara [mail] | Categories: family/personal

I'm having a hard time with words right now, so please forgive my uninspired post. After my adolescent ramblings Tuesday night (of which your comments were thoughtful and appreciated), I had a much worse Wednesday. My friend's husband was killed in an automobile accident Wednesday night, and we have all been trying to take care of her as best we can. Dennis McCullough was a thoughtful, kind and intelligent man with a great faith that inspired many. Their only daughter, Erin, will be heading back to college next week and both she and Donna's lives will be forever changed. I wish I could make their lives easier right now, but I know this is something they will have to work through together. Please keep Donna and Erin in your thoughts and prayers. I hope I can keep my own issues in perspective from now on.

I will really miss Dennis. He was a great man. This is the second thing to occur back home that makes me feel totally helpless to my friends since I’m so far away. Erin, if you’re reading this I just want to say that I have a good idea what you’re going through right now. It was almost 11 years ago when I suddenly lost my father, but it feels like it was yesterday. I take comfort in knowing that Dennis is in a better place and that his memory will live in us forever, but it’s still hard. Yeah, Sara, it really does put things into perspective.
