OMG! What a day of sad news

#1 Postby cycloneye » Fri Feb 21, 2003 2:06 pm

http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/02/21/tr ... index.html

This is one of those days that I want to go fast because all the news this friday has been about tragic news.First the nightclub fire where 75 people died,then the barge that exploded with 2 missing in staten island.

And to add to this day of horrific news comes this news from the duke hoepital that the 17 year old mexican girl that 2 weeks ago had a transplant of her heart and lungs with an error in the type of blood and then yesterday there was a person who made the same type as hers and the operation went good.

But then comes the sad news that she has irereversible damage to her brain oh boy.I am praying for her and for her family.

Same here Luis.

I just learned that a local man, well known in the next town died of a heart attack while shoveling his driveway on Tuesday....he was 70 years old. His car was running and he slumped in the driveway and died, bringing our death toll to over 12 for the state and many more nationwide from this event.

I really is a sad day indeed! Between the two stampedes, the oil refinery fire in NY, that poor girl that had the transplants, hopefully, that will be all!

Like Breeze said, we all just have to pray for a better tomorrow. Yes, our nation has been filled with tradegies these past couple of days, but life isn't about the sad days. Its about how you personally handle the situation. You can grope all you want about the bad news, but you have to look on the bright side, because things will get better within a matter of minutes, days, or weeks.
