...at 11:30pm, my phone rang. It was my 12-year-old son, Cameron. That means it was 12:30am for him in South Carolina. He had to repeat himself twice for me to understand him. Jenna, his (half) sister, 17, was in a car accident tonight, and is gone. The beautiful high-school junior, who also was the beautiful little 3-year-old girl I held in my lap and watched cartoons with all those years ago, is gone.

I'm leaving in the morning for the 11 hour drive, and I'm using up the vacation days from work that I was saving for the NC BDM Premiere Party. Priorities, friends.

If you believe in God, I ask that you pray for my son Cameron, and for his mother Deanna. If you don't believe, just send some positive/healing energy towards Newberry, South Carolina. I'll round it up and deliver it in person.

I have nothing adequate to say. There isn't anything. But know that our thoughts and prayers go with you, friend.

Please accept my sympathy and my prayers.
This is a terrible tragedy and you know your friends here on the board will always be here to support your spirits in any way possible.

I cannot believe your work place doesn't have bereavement leave for immediate family members, did you even tell them the reason for your immediate departure?

Take care.

I'm entirely new here, but your post was highlighted.

My deep sympathies for you, for your son, and for their mom. There's never a good time to deal with it.

Be together while you need to, so you can heal some. It takes time, but it does heal.

Here's hoping you'll find strength together.
