My heart goes out
not always in the best conditions. Weather in the
eastern part of Canada can be mean on any given
day in the winter, and in summer other factors often
contribute to unsafe roads. A person driving from Port
Hastings to Judique, or from Judique to Port Hood,
or from Port Hood to Mabou, or Mabou to Margaree,
or Whycocomagh, or Sydney, can hit three or four
weather systems on the one trip, making it extremely
difficult to know when it is, or is not safe to drive.
There may not be a flake of snow in Port Hood, while
a storm is concurrently whipping around Antigonish.
And it is the same I am sure on the roads of New
Brunswick.
Sometimes life throws a category-five tornado with
little warning, and it stinks, big time. It is sadly a fact
of life. Can’t do anything about it. Nasty things happen.
Horrific things. Things that we cannot comprehend
but have to deal with, if we are to move forward.
And then some things are so devastating that we
don’t even consider the future; we simply try to make
it through the present, in survival mode. That’s when
we need the love, care and concern of others to carry
us through.
So many perspectives, so many involved, each
with potential demons to overcome, and the ever
ready, stiff zombie, marching parade of what-ifs, if-onlys,
and why-mes. If there were any way in Heaven I
could take the pain away from those families, I would.
My heart goes out to them. But I cannot. You, as in
the reader, cannot. We may relate on some level,
but we cannot take the pain away. None of us can.
We might through tiny gestures and words soften the
impact for a moment or two, but all those affected will
be affected for the rest of their lives. Some will move
forward mechanically; some will stay stuck; and some
will search an eternity for some kind of explanation
that they can come to terms with. It will not be easy.
I especially feel empathy for the van’s driver, a
teacher at the school and coach to the boys. Police
indicate that due to the slippery roads he lost control.
I am sure there was absolutely nothing he could have
done, yet the torment of considering if only he had
done something different will haunt every waking moment
of every waking day. May he be able to look beyond
and know, in the truest sense of the word – that
it was an accident. The van was simply in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Simple as that. There was
nothing he could have done to avoid it. He survived
the crash, but his wife, a teacher at another school,
who was supervising the boys, died on impact. Really
makes you wonder why some people seem to be hit
so hard. The daughter, also in the van, was one of
the survivors.
Every parent’s dream comes through their children,
dashed now for too many in the same town.
Lively, ambitious, fun-loving kids with not a care in
the world were almost home with their moms and
