July 5th three children die in horrific auto accident
I was one of the first to drive upon this....
It changed my life forever as it did WILLIE, GEORGE & JASMINE and their families.
I tried to keep George And Jasmine alive until ER came. At the time I was just trying to help because I new CPR and first aid, anyone in my situation would have reacted in the same manner if it were my 12 yr. old son Dylan in that backseat.
My heart goes out to all three families of these beautiful children.
I kept trying to reassure George that it was not his fault! Tears were streaming down his cheeks while he was in shock over what had happened. I held his head and talked to him and wiped away his tears while I was trying to figure out what had happened.
I held the right hand of Jasmine, begging her to stay with me.
Yes, Willie was passed on to the LORD before he knew it!
Willie was wearing a black Tshirt and jeans slumped over behind George's seat, George was wearing a white mesh jersey with dark numbers, also in jeans with white midtop untied basketball shoes and Jasmine was wearing a hot pink sleeveless summer sweater and blue jean capries. She had the most beautiful big eyes with green contacts and her toes even had a french manicure.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't reflect or even some days FEEL the events that transpired that evening, I suppose this is one of those nights!
God Bless All His Children!
