A few months ago I found out from a friend of mine that thier daughter was going to have twin boys.. They were due on Dec. 12... They were so happy about this as this would be their 2 and 3 grandchild... Thier Daughter and Son in law left this morning to come down to stay for a couple of weeks because they are wanting to move up here closer to her parents and planned to look for a house the next two week.. They left this morning really excited about seeing her parents and her parents excited about seeing them... But they never made it.. Before they got out of Jacksonville they were hit head on by a drunk driver and the drunk driver had two of his kids in the car with him... Thier daughter and her husband are alive but the babies did not make it.. they are both dead... I dont even know what to say to these friends except I am sorry and be there for them when they need me.. I am so sad about this and at the same time I am so angry at the drunk driver that killed two innocent babies that had not even been born yet.. I think the children in the car with the drunk were ok but not sure I am sure I will find out in the next day or two.. Please Please think before you crawl behind the wheel of a car high, of the other people on the road I am sure whose ever life you may take has a love one that will be devastated at their lose...
what a tragedy! I am so sorry for you and your friends...I will keep everyone in my prayers!

What a horrible tragedy. I cried when I read your post and I'm just so sorry and angry too. NO one should have to endure that kind of pain and suffering. I love you and if you ever need to talk just find me.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.. And for your prayers for the family.. I can't even begin to tell you how hard this is on them.. This was to be thier daughters first children also.. I am sure if it had been their 2nd an 3rd children it would have been just as devastating I wish I knew the magic words that would make them feel better.. After I heard this I called my oldest Child to tell her about what had happened, she is pregnant.. I wanted so bad to tell her dont drive, LOL.. but that would have been silly.. I guess we never know what fate has in store for us..
Oh my God Paula...I'm so sorry. It's times like this that test our faith in God and people. Sending you a big hug...

Thank you, Lisa, Tina, Sharonn, and Denae.. I just wish I could do more for them.. I feel like my hands are tied and I just dont know what to say... The Mother is still in the hospital as well as her hubby..She is only 18 and it doing well physically but emotional she is not good .. That is to be expected thought.. I still have not heard about the two children that were in the car with the man that hit them... I hope and pray they are alright...
I know that you do not know me i am usually on another board and felyt compelled to share a story with you.About 6 years ago my brother and his wife got preg for thr first time and everything was good up until the last week of her pregnancy at her last check up before her due date i think39 weeks anyway she starts having a few pains in her stomach on Mon night .It is not that bad so so the next day my brother was hanging out fishing out in the ocean with his friend his wife insisted she would be fine have fun yada and at like 12:00pm she hurts bad all of sudden goes in and she is admitted .It was time anyway she had been to the dr 4 days earlier and everything was fine she has the baby and she was dead her ambilical cord had choked her to death .My brother finally got back in and got to the hospital to find this out.The moral of the story is this they were planning a move and went ahead with it because she couldnt handle the questions if someone asked her how she was and the baby since she was no longer pregnant so they moved she did therapy and worked thru it and 2 yrs later she ahs a precious little boy then 1& 3 months later they havw a beautiful little girl turning 4 tomorrow it is amazing how much they love their kids after losing their firat by 6:00am they are all usually piled up in their parent bed it is so funny but they are just so happy to have these children and feel so blessed tio have them and are the neatest couple and parents its amazing to see how close their little family is but they are having another in January .
Hopefully your friends will still make the move and they find help and will be able to try again soon i just hope she doesnt give up on trying that would be so sad I just pray that they are blessed with more children one day and they be blessed gratly one day.I hope that this post is not wrong to say and even though
I could never imagine having to feel that pain I guess i was just trying to share some hope as they will never forget that precious little lamd but today they have healed and were blessed by 3 more .I hope your friends are able to get better and that they are determined to try again I pray they are blessed 100% over!!!

ctink, Thank you that was such a sweet post.. The mother of the twins is only 18, and I am sure that in time she will want more children, it will just take awhile before the get over this tragedy... I heard that she talked to her Dad today and he told her that he was leaving to come up there and she told him not to that he needed to stay home and take care of hisself.. She told him she was fine but he knows as well as all of us that are close to them that she is not fine.. I know it will take time for all of them family and friends.. Thank you for that post..
As mere mortals we can never understand a such senseless ,avoidable tragedy
