Slowing Down

Yesterday, we were in Idaho Falls, and there was a Truck that hit a motorcycle and the guy on the motorcycle didn't have his helmet on. It happened on Hitt Road and we happened to be heading home that way. While we were being re-routed that basically reminded my dad of the truck and semi wreck that my dad had driven past yesterday on the road south of Ashton. From what it sounds like the guy in the truck was probably trying to pass someone and in doing so he actually hit head one with a semi truck. My dad said that what it looked like is the guy was probably dead because the whole front of the truck was bashed in and there was a blanket over the front of the truck. When we watched the news yesterday both accidents had a death occur. This made me think really really hard about how short life is. It also made me think that in life we all need to take more time. Take time to pay more attention to what is actually around us. Also, we need to wear protection. I was sad to hear that the guy on the motorcycle died instantly, because he didn't have on his helmet. We all need to care more about those around us, and we all need to slow down.
