Yesterday evening, I happened to notice flashing lights through my front window blinds. I walked toward the front door and peeked outside. I had never seen that many police on my quiet neighborhood street. Four police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance. No sound...just lights.
I told the family and we sat on the porch. I was wondering which one of my neighbors was experiencing this and that is when I saw a paramedic run from my next door neighbors house to his truck and back again. At that point I knew something tragic was happening. I wanted to make sure it was safe, but didn't want my neighbor to suffer alone.
Soon I saw my neighbor step outside with her daughter in law. Her daughter in law was experiencing the type of grief I hope to never see again. I won't go into details since it is already all over news. I hugged my neighbor tightly as the ambulance drove away.
My heart breaks for them today...
