He drove his car into a local river. As the car was sinking, he called his mother to say he was sorry and had changed his mind. The last thing his mother heard was the phone disconnect as the car went under water.
The police pulled the car out of the drink today. The kid had drown, the parents and little sister (22) are devastated. What is normally a rowdy crowd when assembled in one place was extremely silent and somber.
Watching the parents go through that sucked everything out of me today. I just want to veg on the couch, cuddle the toddler and and stare at the ceiling.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your wife's friend has an unimaginable memory to live with, I can't even wrap my brain around what that looks like to move forward from that.
