I regret to inform you that Alexa's mom is not well; she will be departing us soon. Although I only met her twice, I even miss her a little bit. Alexa, my heart goes out to you and your family.
Bear with me, this does relate to the topic at hand. Two weeks ago, I had a dream that my phone and camera broke. That day, in real life, my computer crashed. On Sunday night/Monday morning, in my dream my mom was killed. That day, Alexa and her mom got into the car accident. It's a very strange turn of events. Once again, Alexa, I can not explain how sorry I am. If you need me, I am most deffinetley here.
Not just today, but ever since the death of Kyle's father, I have tried to love my parents, and my neighbors in general, more than normal, because I realize that at any moment, their life could be taken from my hands, up away into the sky like a clumzy child and his favorite balloon, that no matter how much the parents say they can, he can't have a replacement, he wants that balloon back.
Love,
Colin.

And to everyone else who reads this, I want you to know something...
You know those stupid commercials that some news stations used to put up a few years ago about how just taking two seconds to click in your seatbelt would come on? Well, that's the difference between my mother and I... I clicked in my seatbelt and only got a few cuts on my arms and bruised my head and face. While my mom had neglected her own safety and she did many times, she was ejected from the car and suffered the worst head trauma you could possibly imagine. Just think... If taking two seconds out of your time when you're going on the road could mean the difference between the emergency room and just a wash up in a sink, wouldn't you want to do it.
So please, I beg of each and every one of you who reads this... Buckle your seatbelts. This is the only life you've got and don't screw it up just by making a simple mistake. I know that I will never forget to buckle mine. And I hope that no one else suffers from this loss, ever.... Or at least not as young as I am.
May God be with us all.
Thank you.
