A Life in Photos

Picture
On this morning six weeks ago, Max told us he had been rear ended the night before by a hit-and-run drunk driver. It crunched up the back of his car, making the trunk useless and requiring the bumper to come off so he could drive. His new-to-him, beautiful car was now junky, but he was strangely undisturbed by this. He was still filled with optimism, passion, and joy. He had so much to look forward to.

Two days later, he was struck by a semi-truck on his way home from classes.  I happened on the scene, quite coincidentally, about 5 minutes later and knew instantly that it was Max in that mangled wreck because I recognized the little red car without a bumper.

I made a Shutterfly photo album of all the photos I could find from his brief life.   Maybe one day I will find more photos in a box somewhere or in a hard drive on another computer, but for now I am exhausted.  It will have to wait for another day. 

Grief is hard work.

I also lost my son in a car wreck February 10, 2005, partly his fault, partly car failure. He was 21 and so full of life. The pictures and memories are so special to me.
God got me through the rough days and the ones that pop up unexpectedly since then. God bless you and your family...

    Who's that?

    Much of the blame belongs to me,  Alison.  I am:  Wife to 1 man, Mom to 10 kids, and Farmer to a great many critters.
