It'll be a week tomorrow, but it still feels like it was just a nightmare..

[serenityx]

Four teenagers dead, one in critical condition.

My heart hurts more and more every day..

Rest easy Dillon, Sativa, John and Steven..

You four were taken too soon.. I still don't want to believe it.

Dillon..just 3 more days and it would have been your birthday.. it didn't seem right that I was celebrating my birthday on that day, and you weren't able to celebrate yours.

I went to the spot where you guys crashed..As I parked my car and walked toward it, I walked by a girl who was walking away.. with her head down, tears in her eyes and yet she managed to smile at me just a little.. An older gentleman pulled over to say a prayer for Dillon, Sativa, John, Steve and Joel.. I can't even begin to explain how I felt when I was standing by that tree..balloons left for Dillon's birthday today, pictures, wreaths, letters, crosses and car parts.. my heart felt so empty and my body numb.. there was a short period of time where no cars drove by, nobody else was around..it was so quiet.. as I was about to leave, sitting in my car crying, an older couple walks by with flowers.. they looked at me, and I looked at them.. words weren't necessary.. you could feel the hurt..

So many hearts are hurting right now.. you four made such an impact on the community. Over $54,000 raised in 11 hours for your families. People coming from all over the state to donate.. Your families should be out spending their money on Christmas presents for you guys, but instead they are out planning funerals for their own children Who would have thought something like this would happen, especially to you four..

Joel.. the sole survivor of this.. please get better.. everyone is praying for you.. I can't wait for you to come out of this.. with the exception of when you learn about what happened to your friends.. it's going to be so hard, but they're looking over you Joel..

Joel is doing better.. just the other day he woke up and tore his breathing tube out.. they sedated him again, but it's so good to know that he's making progress.. He still has a way to go, but that's okay..just the fact that he's getting better is making everybody thankful..

I'm so sorry to hear this happened love, I'm sorry for the loss of your friends. When something like this happens it can take a while for it to start feeling real and for you to come to terms with it. Just keep taking one step at a time, and things will start to gradually get easier, even if right now that seems impossible. I'm glad to hear Joel is getting better
Take care, and we're always ehre at TH if you need someone to chat to. xxx

[serenityx]

I am so sorry to hear about this. I live in Connecticut, too, just not in the city where it happened, and after hearing about it on the news I felt horrible that this happened at all. It's a scary thing to think about, car crashes, and the fact that there were lives lost is incredibly sad. Once again, I'm very sorry, and my heart goes out to everyone that has known them, family, friends.

Thank you everybody.. Joel keeps improving, finally out of the surgical ICU and he found out a few days ago about his friends..it's amazing how the town has come together to support him and his family, and the families of Sativa, John, Dillon & Steve
