I think that we briefly had some communication last year, however I really don't remember... <br /><br />Anyway, my name is Corey. I was the driving down that same road as all of these confluences of fate began to run together. In my car there was myself, my father, my ex-fiance, my 4 year old son, and her 2 boys. Leigh Ann was maybe 5 seconds ahead of us...<br /><br />Seconds...that is how long it took to both take life and change so very many. We saw it happen...we were there... We were the first ones on the scene. Fire, police, and ambulance hadn't even been called yet...It was my father whom was walking on and laying in the puddles of gasoline that had spilled into the roadway. He tried to save her, and in some way we all tried to save her...but it was too late...<br /><br />There is a sense of "survivor's guilt" that stems from that night, and although it has diminished with time, I am failry certain that it will never go away...<br /><br />I will never understand why God chose to put her those 5 seconds ahead of us, but for some reason he did... I will be eternally grateful and respectful of just being alive. <br /><br />I know that time doesn't heal...it only lessens the intensity of the pain. I've learned more about myself and life in this past year than I had in my previous 30.<br /><br />You, your friends, and all others that were impacted by this tragedy have always been and always will remain in my prayers. I hope you are well.<br /><br />CoreyInnominately Yourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410417142733146932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356746310318133268.post-37381483938046626252010-05-03T21:52:34.369-07:002010-05-03T21:52:34.369-07:00Hi Julie,

But what a beautiful tribute to your best friend. I'm sure she would be so honored by your words. <br /> <br />I'm continuing to pray for you and Leigh Ann's family. I'm so sorry that you have to walk this road. I'm so grateful for your strong faith--it will see you through.<br /><br />Gently,<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168032909295193022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356746310318133268.post-87135966886619620062010-04-26T21:25:25.442-07:002010-04-26T21:25:25.442-07:00Oh Julie I am so sorry!
