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.
