T & Ps

I just got a message from my mom that my little brother (he is 16) went to the LSU game yesterday with some of his friends. They stopped to eat on the way home and my brother and one other friend decided to stay behind at the restaurant. The four others went ahead home. Those four died in a car accident minutes away from their house. The police still don't know what happend, they found the truck at the bottom of the bayou (like a river) and really smashed up. My brother should have been in that truck, but decided to stay back with his other friend. Him and his other friend were the last to see those kids alive, and are extremely shaken up. Please send your thoughts and prayers to my brother and his friends at school and those kids families. My parents live in a small town and the whole community is devestated. I am so sad for all of them but so thankful my brother stayed back and was not in that car! All of the kids were 16/17 age range...its so sad.

  • Holy Cow! Hugs and warm fuzzies to your brother! How scary!
  • My heart goes out to all of them.  It is unimaginable.  Your brother will need a lot of love and support not to feel guilty that he is alive and the others are not.  T&P's....
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
  • Thank you all for your support. I just talked to my mom on my lunch break and she said my brother is doing awful. He is so heartbroken and there is that feeling that if he and the other kid would have been behind them and seen the wreck that they could have helped. They didn't find them in the river until almost 12hrs later and all of the kids from the school (including my brother) had formed a search party so my brother saw them pull the car from the river with the kids in it. He is just so messed up over this. I am hoping my parent will let him come stay with us for a few days to get away from it all. Those boys were like his brothers. My heart just breaks for him!
  • This definitely hits a nerve with me. I was dating a boy when I was 16 or so who was killed in a car accident right after leaving a party that we were at together. He wasn't drinking or even driving, but his friend's car went off the road and he was tossed from the vehicle. It's so very hard to deal with death at an age when you still felt invincible. Many, many hugs to him and all the kids/families. Such a shame.

  • Wow! That's horrible! T&P's for sure being sent! That is a terrible thing to have to go through and I feel so sorry for all families involved. It will be a long healing process.

  • Just terrible, my heart breaks for those involved. It's hard to come to terms with something so huge but I wish very great T&P's for them all.

  • Oh my gosh that is so horrible! Those poor families and your poor brother! Definitely just let him know you're there if he needs to talk, it takes teenage boys awhile to sort through their feelings so he might not be up for it right away but he'll definitely need a shoulder to cry on at some point. If the school is providing grief counselors (they usually do when things like this happen) you/your mom should encourage your brother to go to a session.
