I can't comprehend how much goes on in the world all at once. Friday night Lindsay Millett's husband Derek was killed in a car accident. They had been married just a year. He went to work and never came home. Her whole world is upside down and those of you reading this will think "oh how sad" and then continue on with your day. And there is nothing wrong with that but it just boggles my mind. Lindsay and I are 4 days apart, shared all the same friends and memories through middle school and high school. I remember at the end of one summer in high school, we went through the calendar and figured out there were only 4 days of the 3 month summer where we were both in town and didn't see each other. Anyway, its just weird when unexpected heartache hits so close to home.
The moment Derek's life ended, Lindsay became a widow at 21, a husband, son, brother, friend, home teacher, student, coworker was lost. And at the exact same moment in time, wherever it be in the world, I bet somebody got married, a baby was born, a hilarious memory made, a first kiss, a conversion to the gospel etc. I just can't comprehend it.
