Positive Thoughts Please

I love my brother's wife. True, having another liberal vegetarian in the family did tip the scales in our favor. Makes for interesting dinner selection/conversation during get-togethers. (All of a sudden, Dad's outnumbered.) However, there's more to Chelsie than her cruelty-free convictions. Since I don't want to ramble, for a change, let me just say that one of the reasons Chelsie's so great is because she comes from a terrific family. Good stock counts for a lot and they're keepers. Which is why my heart breaks for them. A few weeks ago, Chelsie's brother was killed in a car accident.

Of course, something must be done about elderly drivers. And we will beg those we love to put away their motorcylces and use a car instead. But that doesn't make the hurt go away for a family trying to cope with an unspeakable tragedy. Through her grief, Chelsie was able to put memories and loss into words, appropriately titled "Nightmare".

Say a prayer for my sister-in-law and her family. They could use it.
