Hero

I was just reading the news, and the story regarding the truck driver who was killed when he tried to manuever out of the way of oncoming traffic after being cut off by some street racers, really made me stop and think a little. Such tragedies are so sad. They acts are so senseless, and could easily have been prevented if some losers didnt decide to show off, or decide that they had somethign to prove. I mean, what do you do, when you're so young, and you have so much guilt on you? Not only did you take a life, you have also taken away from so many other lives, such as his family and friends.

I guess something that stuck out for me was what his wife said at the end,

"On our first date, he picked me up in a dump truck," Debbie said, laughing at the memory. "I was really impressed. I said, `What?' After that, we just sort of stuck together. It's been fun and it's been too short."

I guess that might be how it is, when you find the person you're supposed to be with. Time will always seem like it's never enough. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.


A song that comes into mind which reminds me of just enjoying another's company, and just being...

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words,
are said too much
they're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
