Err err err! I was at CVS working clean the windows Sunday night around Six. It was storming rain outside and I could barley see out the window. I heard the sound of an ambulance and then look up out the window. I saw a fire truck and two ambulance that were racing toward the hospital. Some one must have been in a wreck I thought to myself. I didn't think much about it. I mean hey people get in wrecks everyday, its no big deal. It's about Eight now and i have been working. The store has died down and there isn't may customers. "One Photo Call", I hear the phone say. ''CVS this is Heather, how can I help you?'' It's my mother and she replies by telling me to make sure that I am really careful on the way home from work. It's foggy and raining outside, there has been a wreck out by my sisters house on the New Forest Hwy. She explains to me that the people in the wreck were hurt very badly. Then what she told me made my heart sink to my stomach.
My best friends parents and sisters were involved in the wreck. Her dad has passed away on impact and the rest of the family had been taken to the hospital. Savannah, her 13 year old sister had internal bleeding and was in surgery. Trenton, Savannah's boyfriend was in the ICU and her smallest sister was waiting to have a CT scan to make sure she didn't have any head trauma. The step mama seem to be fine just suffering some cuts and bruises as also her sister. I didn't want to talk Erika because i was at work. When i got off work it was late.
Monday we were out of school for MLK, I was sitting on the couch that morring and was texting Erika. She told me that Savannah wasn't doing good and they were fixing to life flight her to Savannah Memorial. They had told the family that there wasn't much hope, but maybe she would do better in Savannah. Erika told me that they were on the way up and she would let me know anything else.
I went to work that night and around 8:30, Erika had txt me and told me she had passed. It really hurts me to know they way she feels and everything that she is going through right now. I can't begin to imagine what its like to lose both a father and a sister within two days. I know that she is sounded by loved ones and that god will get her thought this. He put her in it and he will get her though it. Everything happens for a reason.
The viewing will be held at Sims and it will begin Thursday night. Followed by the funeral service Saturday. All my love and prayers go out to Erika and her family.

I LOVE YOU GIRL!!
