This is Sad, Very Sad Only - They Did Not Have to Die.
I guess I'm posting this to ask everyone to today take a moment to send a kind thought or prayer to both this family below and to any family that has lost a child.
Yesterday my husband and brother were the first responders to a terrible, terrible accident, a hit and run of a child on a bike whom didn't make it. I will not describe the horror of the scene they had to deal with, nor the plight of the mother and sister whom had to witness that scene as well. Suffice to say this is nothing more than absolutely tragic. The other sad part .. is that had the child been wearing a bike helmet .. he would have survived! Our thoughts go out to this family and to the safety of all children, youth, and families from the horrible crime of drunk driving. This did not need to happen!

I do not pray, but I swear I will keep them in my thoughts and wish the family to recover from the tragic loss. I can't even imagine the pain of his mother

That stuff is sad =[ I once witnessed a car accident with an old lady who hit someone turning in front of her and she didn't make it. Very sad.

I'm praying.
This is very sad. A hit and run? I hope that person get's their due justice.

Indeed, very sad only. They're in my prayers. Things like these speak for just how fragile life is, that you can get snuffed out at any moment. Makes you really feel the need to appreciate the time you've got.

Drunk drivers who kill someone need to be put on deathrow after the 2nd offense.

This is absolutely beyond the word terrible. I cannot imagine the absolute horror of a mother witnessing the death of her own child in such a gruesome manner. My opinion? Locked up for life. He deserves whatever punishment comes to him.
They will be in my prayers.

It's a cruel fact of life how the direct victim of a drunk driver gets killed while the driver him/herself typically stays alive.
