A little boy died in my front yard yesterday evening. Hubby and I were pulling into our driveway when we saw the car, and immediately went to help. The only people there were the boy that was hit- who had been thrown from the motor bike he was riding into my yard, the 19-ish year old kid that had *gulp* hit the boy- who was standing in the middle of the road giving directions to 911, and a man in a blue shirt- I don't know where he came from.
I have seen people- even kids- in the hospital after traumatic experiences. I have seen the body's of people that are going to be buried. But nothing prepared me for what I saw when I walked up to that little boy lying on the ground. Nothing.
I have everything recorded (as of this morning) from the time Hubby and I saw the vehicle until just after the ambulance left the scene. I did it for two reasons. A- to get it out of my head, B- for a statement.
I may post more about this later, but not right now. I'm still in shock, and Hubby says he does not want to hear it if the boy did not make it. Hubby and I both spent the night alternating who was in the bathroom, as we were both so sick last night. Yesterday was the most traumatic day of my life- and I was only a by-stander.
