...Just like that....

Yesterday a young woman in my city was killed crossing the street...the street that just a short while later, I was walking with my girls on our way for an afternoon of fun.

Just like that, the young woman's life ended. There are some things in this life I will never truly understand.

Life is so precious...and we never know when it's just going to be ripped away from us.

This morning as I sit here, writing this, I am thinking about that young woman, younger than me, whose life was taken away from her. I'm also thinking about the driver of the vehicle, whose life, in a sense, has also been ripped away. I can't imagine living with the guilt and anguish over accidentally taking someone's life.

The whole thing really just seems so unfair, the fragility of life.

And I'm not up for dealing with any of it today.
