Sad...

So, I’ve been in a bit of a funk since last night and said funk is over my Cousin, who I shall call Seattle Cousin (SC). She is 10 years younger than me and lives all the way across this big ol’ USA! She has also been comatose, vegetative, whatever choice medical term you like, for over a year. Mother’s Day 2006 she was in a terrible car accident with friends. One girl died, my cousin ended up in her current state and the driver just broke her arm. No alcohol or drugs involved, just giggly girls in a hurry to get to their destination. Then BOOM…2 vibrant girls went poof. Every day I get an email update on SC from her former boyfriend who updates a website on her condition and gives support to her family. She has good days and bad days. Most days I read the posts, pray for her and move on with my day. Those days tend to be neutral or good news days. Other days I read about her condition and just want to cry. Those are moments when I feel hopeless for her and her family in Seattle. I try to stay positive, but I’m human. It’s one of the situations I hope never happens to anyone else close to me, but the Universe/God may have different plans. The funk will pass with a new day, but SC will probably stay the same for a while. I guess that’s why humans hope for miracles…to help move-on and keep hope alive. So I hope…and that’s enough for now…
