Last night I awoke to the sound of sirens, I never wake up when they drive by... but last night I did. I woke up and said a little prayer of thanks for my firefighting fiance and for safety. But since nothing ever really happens, I went back to sleep and didn't worry...but I should have been on my knees all night... someone died.
Every bone in my body cries out. IT'S NOT FAIR! She was young, pretty, sweet... was she ready?
All last year she lived next door to me. She giggled late into the night, had a northern accent we teased her about.... I just wonder, did I do enough?
Kelly, we're going to miss you...
What makes me so mad is that life will go on without you...

Its always hard to know what to say or how to feel when something like this happens... if there is anyway you CAN feel or anything you CAN say. Its an interesting metaphore that you woke up last night, and that you also woke up when you heard what happens... It kinda makes you want to treat everyone like this could be their last day.
