Life

So, this is a warning, this is one of those more serious blogs about life and death. If you do not feel up to thinking about this for whatever reason, i suggest you divert your eyes.. now.

So this weekend has been of a thought awakener you could say. Let me tell you the story.

It all happened on saturday night, we went to Philippa (the nice receptionist at UD) and her boyfriend George's house to be apart of the celebration of Philippas 25th birthday. To our surprise and utter delight it was not just her birthday, but George had proposed that morning as well, so it was an engagement party and birthday party in one! We stayed there for a while, but it was a bit too mature crowd for us, so we went off to the pub to check if there was any sign of life, and there was!! The Hampten was going off and so we joined in the fun, and while we were there we got to know two very awesome guys that were just out to have a good time. In a very misunderstood situation one of the guys was thrown out of the pub in which his good friend followed. They got in their car, and it didnt take long before the cop started chasing them and so they reached speeds up to 150 km an hour, in which it of course had to end badly. They crashed in a tree and the car was split in two, 50 meters apart from each-other. The passenger died instantly and the driver was sent to Nelson in critical condition.
half an hour before we were all dancing and chatting along having a good time, and when I now think back on yesterday, it is so strange to think that we were pretty much the last people to see them alive.
its just a smack in the face really how quickly your life can be taken from one, and the reality of how fragile life is, hits home.
Everyday is a gift.
