CREEEEEEPY!

So my dad, sister and I went to the Holiday Tournament for my alma mater. The boys won, of course. But as we were driving home, I realized something. It's icy on the roads. Normally I wouldn't really make a big deal about it. But two years ago today (December 27th), Stephen Record died on the way home from shopping with one of his best friends. I can't remember if I told you this story already.

The short of it is Stephen was a year behind me in school & in my Journalism class the semester he passed away. He and his best friend were on their way home from shopping before they had to play in the Holiday Tournament. Well Steve's friend was the driver and slide on some ice & hit head on into an oncoming truck. Steve died when he got to the hospital (or pronounced dead at the scene, I can't remember and I don't wanna bring it up to anyone). If he hadn't had trauma to his head, he would of only suffered a broken arm. His friend suffered two broken legs & a broken left arm.

So I find it insanely creepy that it was ICY on the way home from THE HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT since it was TWO YEARS after Steve passed away. I can't remember if last year it was icy on this day. Of course, if I remember right, I was at my Nana's this day last year.
