please pray for the families and friends of the four young men who will be buried over the next two days.
if you are so inclined, please pray for some peace for tyler, the young man who was driving. he will attempt to attend the four funerals of his "best buds".
this young man has such a heavy burden to come to terms with and to carry for the rest of his days. it is a burden that no one, especially such a young man, should ever have to carry.
threats have been made against him and his family and it has created so much division within the school community and the community as a whole.
our school will close for the day tomorrow, not only as a sign of respect, but allow the staff to grieve along with the students.
please pray for the staff at school to have the strength and support to help those children who need support. this tragedy will echo through our school for a long time to come, i feel.
please pray that the rumours and innuendo surrounding the accident will end and our community and our children can start to heal and move on from this tragedy.
please pray for mark and i to be strong enough to support our boys as they grieve and try to accept that death, even when it is someone so young, is an inevitable part of life and that life does go on.
please pray that the young people who have been touched by this tragedy can accept that it can happen to them; that they aren't bullet-proof and that accidents do happen and can be life changing.
i won't post again until i feel more settled myself. i feel that i have posted so many sad posts and i think (and sincerely hope) that after the funerals and some time alone with our boys, that mark and i will be able to help them move on with their lives and with our lives too.
i feel strongly motivated to scrap, although at the moment my heart really isn't in it.
i have a strong motivation to preserve the memories we have of our family and our lives and to live a life that offers love and happiness and opportunities to make more memories.
be safe dear friends.

Dear Shazz-
My thoughts are with them all but mostly for you and your family.
Take care,
Love Kel XXX
Will do Shazz, absolutly will be praying for the whole situation.
And as a bibical illustration can be found in the good book when Jesus says - "he without fault (sin) cast the first stone". Anyone of the other fellows could have been driving, it's an unfortunate event, but that's life. I hope people realize that blame throwing is wasted energy, instead lets be in the business of forgiveness and producing something positive out of a negative event. Maybe even driving courses offered freely as part of the school currcumlim (spell?) to school students to bring about more awareness to their vunerabilty as new drivers, so we don't have to be burying our young in this manner. Take care matey, Ruthy x
Shazz, all of you are in my prayers. Such a sad sad time!
