update on bus wreck

I was just going to edit my previous post, but I decided instead to write more in a new post.

Yesterday a fourth Student passed away. Her family was told shortly after noon. I was at work and was there when they were told the horrible news.

The first day I was so busy running around taking care of our work I didn't have time to stop and think. I heard the tears and screams of the families that day and but I was still in shock. It wasn't until yesterday as I heard a Mother crying she no longer had her baby that it I began to lose it. However we still had people to care for and they came first.

My co-worker and one of the hospital staff went into high gear helping keep this poor mother concious and I just made sure our people were okay. Another one of our staff is a part time minister and was able to be there for her and the family as well. He himself had a family member on the school bus. Fortunately, his relative only had minor injuries.

There are still many students still in the hospital and the bus driver is still in critical condition with severe back injuries.

Hug your children and other loved ones close. Always remember how special they are to you.

Please pray

I wanted to ask anyone who reads this to say prayers and keep in your thoughts the family, friends and Medical personal, fire dept., and police officers who worked one of the worst accidents our city has ever seen today. Today they experienced the worst nightmare of all accidents, a School Bus traveling on our local interstate rolled off of the overpass and crashed to the ground below. There where 42 students and the driver on the bus. All of the students attend a local High School. There were three fatalities and many critical injuries. Their families and friends are devastated, but the people taking care of them are also feeling the pain. Please everyone hold them fast in your hearts because they need it right now. I should also add the community has come together today and is offering support in many different ways.

Here is a link to one of many articles about the wreck. http://waff.com/Global/story.asp?S=5708431

a few quizes here.

Your Blogging Type is Pensive and Philosophical

You blog like no one else is reading...
You tend to use your blog to explore ideas - often in long winded prose.
Easy going and flexible, you tend to befriend other bloggers easily.
But if they disagree with once too much, you'll pull them from your blogroll!


You Are 60% Weird

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!


You Should Drive a Ford Explorer SportTrac

Tough and supercharged, you have some rather extreme driving practices.
You've been known to intimidate a few drivers. You rule the road.
