As We Wept [Death of a friend]

[Lengai]

News these days rarely brings good tidings. For me, I've heard some on the worst. My friend from seventh grade, Nicole Hood, was in a bad car accident, hit a tree. She made it to the hospital in a coma.

She died this morning.

And I remember, she was a character for my manga entry to TokyoPop. She was a pretty girl and a beautiful person. She was one of those people who just glowed. I remember classes with her, going to a birthday party with her..and yet, I didn't know her that well. We were friends when we were around eachother, but didn't go out of the way to socialize. I'm heartbroken to say I don't know if she knew Jesus or not. By the way she lived her life, I have to think that she's at rest with the Lion of Judah. My heart tells me she had true life. But these are things I won't know until my time comes as well.

Things like this make you really think about how fragile and evanescent life is. Gone, like that. I have cried for a friend lost to the horrors of a violent accident. I hope to do a memorial for her soon.

Please pray for her family through this tough time, as well as those affected.

I too, know what this kind of loss is like, for we lost someone at our school in a similar circumstance.

I shall pray

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
-2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I'm sorry to hear about this. Something similar happened to on of my friends a few years ago. I'll pray for her family's comfort through this.

Oh, gosh! That's terrible! I am so sorry!

I'll be praying for you and all the people who knew this seemingly exceptional young lady.

Light and Jewels - by Mourning September
Hospital beds come too quickly these days.
I saw her just lay there fighting for her last look at love.
All she wanted was to see beauty in her existence.
She never knew.
Death came like a thief to break her free,
and carry her to life.
It stole her from all that she loved
and saved her from what could have come.
After all of this I know
she saw a door standing open,
with lights and jewels and fields forever,
let her braid a flower in her hair
(and there stood the Christ)
She never knew she would see you this soon.

Thanks for the support and prayers, everyone.
