Many, many heartfelt purrs for your friends; I am so sad to read this story.
Please let them know we are sending our condolences and thoughts their way. And comforting purrs to you, too, Hopitus. Christine "Hopitus2" wrote in message ... Don't often share my heartaches with cat ng cyberfriends, but multiple purrs needed for a couple friends in Miami, my hometown. Early a.m. today, a call woke me from a close pal; her DH's only child, a daughter, 21, went to RB today 3 days after driving headon into a large concrete pole late at night during one of the intricate turns in poorly lighted section of our I-95 Interchange (locally nicknamed "the spaghetti bowl" so you can imagine what I mean by "hairpin turns" here). Her BF died at the scene; neither wore seatbelts, and her car was a rebuilt Mercury with airbags not reinstalled upon renovation. I had occasion to ride as passenger with her dad, my friend, about 2 months ago, and at the time bitched at him to fasten his belt; he speeds and we were stopped by a local cop, scolded, but no ticket given as he mentioned we had our seatbelts on (!). What irony.This is my same friend who has the 3 Himmies in her *no pets* condo; she and DH have now adopted his daughter's half-grown kitten; the Himmies are having cows over the kid's intrusion, but at least one of them is playing with it already. Thank you for your recovery and comfort purrs for my friends; I met Claudia (his girl) once. -- If there's no cats in heaven, I don't wanna go! |

I know kind of what you mean about sharp turns. Ironically, I was in an accident on I-95 when I was around 21. There's a section that's sort of a forced exit where the highway basically ends and changes directions. I didn't know about it, because it was my first time on that stretch of road, and it was at night. My car was a flaming wreck, but I was unhurt because of the seatbelt. They've since put big flashing lighted arrows there, fortunately. Seatbelts are so important. |
