On Saturday, a group of boys mostly from my daughter’s middle school were trick or treating and started across a crosswalk. They had flags, and the northbound traffic had stopped for them; a southbound car didn’t see them in time and hit the two boys in the lead. One of them died this morning; one of them is stable but still in critical condition. My daughter had multiple classes with the boy who died; the boy in the hospital is the bassoon player in her school band. I can only imagine the devastation of the families, friends–and the driver.
I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ will cover all of their devastation and grief; it will be a long road, however, and we will be praying for them. GoFundMe pages have been set up for both Karl Finch and Spencer Wall, if anyone is looking for an act of kindness during this month of heightened focus on gratitude.
I’ve been giving my children extra hugs all day.
