Death – The Shocking Truth
by Death comes to us all but sometimes we don’t see the signs. Sometimes the grim reaper waits until we least expect him and surprises us all. We don’t always return home when we venture out.

I was thinking about the two families that died in two separate car accidents lately. I am sure that they didn’t get up that morning and look into the mirror and say today is a good day to die. In fact, they probably never once thought about death as they planned their days activities.
In the one where the car ran of into a small lake below our house three died on the spot and the the other later killed himself. So you could say that a whole family died that day. You can drive by that lake and its astounding beauty would never give a clue that it swallowed up three lives and sent another plunging into death through nightmares. The crosses give a people a clue that death happened there but the cloud of death has moved on to find other unsuspecting victims.
Not long after the accident above a young man driving a truck drifted over and hit head on with a car, that five children and two adults were in. Two adults and three children died. Two children left without a father and the lives of these two children forever changed and forever the memories of that day will burn in their minds. Their lives will never be the same and never again will they return to the same home they left. The crosses mark the spot but the cloud of death has again, moved on.
Being a mother of seven children I can imagine how the children may have been playing laughing never suspecting that the grim reaper was waiting just up the road. The driver never knew what was in their future, they plunged into the events so quickly they never had time to think. So fast, the end, swirled around them and snuffed out their precious lives and shocked all that heard of it.
How we all get up every morning and start our day and never once stop to think about death. We all plan vacations and trips for our families and death never enters the equation. The families above were on vacation and the excitement of all the of the trip, covered their eyes and let the stalker creep in. Death overtakes us in such a unsuspecting manner that we are left in shock when it finds us or finds someone we love and carries them away. How shocking the surprise is and how devastating the results.
