Losin it in Paradise

Remember how I am always saying that we should live as if we are dying?  That we never know when it is going to be over?  Well that just hit home again for me tonight.  I am not going to complain anymore.  All my complaints are just little trival things anyway.  So what if I have to work again tonight, or tomorrow or the next night?  At least I am here.  So what if I have a big ass and a giant leak in the bathroom, at least my DH is there to fix it…….

We had another major traffic accident tonight.  Only this time it was one of our own.   One of our staff.   She is alive, barely holding on.   I just medi-vac’d her to Oahu with a major head bleed, but her 39 year old husband was ripped in two and is dead.  They were innocently going home from shopping.  They were hit by a speeding driver.  Thankfully their children were not with them.  I just worked with her last night.  We just had coffee together.   BANG!  It is all over, life as you know it.

I called my husband to tell him and now he is feeling awful,  scared that I have to drive to work everyday. 

My heart is hurting…..
