Come to Jesus.

Wow. I don't even know where to begin.

So much has happened since I last wrote.


Last friday night I was just in my room doing laundry, and I get a phone call asking me if I had heard about Luther Dyer? I was like no, what about him? I was told he was killed in a terrible car accident in Florida. My heart skipped a beat it seemed like, and then started to sink. I hate the beginning moment when you find out bad news like that especially by word of mouth, because you are in such disbelief you want to blow it off like someone was lying. But then you eventually find out it's not only true, but worse than what you thought. Luther Dyer used to be with my sister Becca a while back, and she was the first person that came to mind. I started crying for her, because I knew as soon as she found out she would be distraught. She is currently in a great relationship with a guy named Colin, and because of that relationship she hasn't had the chance to still be as close to Luther [in a friendship aspect] as she used to be. I called my mom, and at that point Becca didn't know yet. I was so nervous for her, and kept my phone close by. My mom called me saying Becca called from work, and I went to her as soon as I could. We sat there and cried together, and talked about her memories with him and everything. She was so angry at herself for not being as close lately and everything. Later on we went to the Tuscola basketball game so she could see her bestfriend, and we ended up seeing and talking to a lot of people which suprisingly was a great comfort to us, especially her. I got to see people I hadn't seen in a long time, and it reminded me of how many people I really do have in my life that truly care for me and my family.

Anyways the story turned out to be true, and so much more awful than anyone could have ever imagined. Luther, and his girlfriend Natasha and two of her friends from Florida were in an SUV driving [in florida] and a dumptruck lost control of his load and overcorrected causing him to come into oncoming traffic hitting their car head on at an estimated speed of 80 miles an hour. It is said that Luther, Natasha, the dumptruck driver, and one of the other girls all were killed on impact. There was a fifteen year old girl in the back seat who somehow managed to crawl out of the car just minutes before both cars exploded. She was airlifted to the hospital, but had so much infection in her wounds and burns she ended up not making it. This is such a serious tragedy. The dumptruck driver was married, with children [little girls im told] and the other 3 girls including natasha all had big families and loved ones. This breaks my heart entirely, and has been heavy on it for quite some time now. I am close to Luther's best friend or more like brother. He was away at Boot Camp for the Marines, and didn't find out till much later. He is allowed to come home just for a day or two for the funeral, and I think besides Luther's immediate family, John will have the most impact. Luther lived with John's family, and they were practically related. It's awful.

Luther's family visitation is tonight and I'm planning on going with my sister. Tomorrow the funeral is at 11:00. They asked my sister to sing for his funeral, which really suprised me but made me extremely happy. She picked a beautiful song, and I only pray she can hold herself together while she sings. Luther loved her voice, and will be extremely happy to hear her up in Heaven. I can only imagine what it will sound like from up there.

So as she sings Come To Jesus, I am going to be praying. A lot. God bless you Luther Dyer, I will miss you greatly.
