| We're all mature adults here, lets talk about canoe news |

All my nieces and nephews wanted my canoe news so I promised them that I would get them their own canoe news if they were good this christmas. I really meant what I said. But on Sunday a tragic car accident happened. I was at my office in a meeting when the secretary came in and told me I had a phone call. I asked her, ''can it wait?'' And she mouthed, ''It's an emergency!''
I took the call. It was the police. They told me that my nieces and nephews didn't make it and that only my sister survived the crash. I was stunned and totally numb. I felt so very lousy, I was sick in my stomach. I went to the restroom and cried, and I threw up the Indian food that I ate 30 minutes earlier. I wish I had given my nieces and nephews their own canoe news without waiting till christmas.
Now christmas will not come for them. Every time I see my canoe news I am reminded of them and how short life is. canoe news means nothing to me now. I comfort my sister and I am taking care of her now. She's in a wheelchair but she's starting to be more normal now. I think the crash affected her a lot more than me but it's effects on me are huge as well.
Christmas came. I did the only thing I could. I got a lot of canoe news and I donated it to charity. I hope that other people can have canoe news to enjoy and play with NOW that they have time here. It's too late waiting and hoping to get your own canoe news. If you want something or even if it's just canoe news, I suggest you get it NOW. You never know what can happen tomorrow.
