She didn't know where to have the bags delivered and wanted to wait. With tears in all of our eyes, we issued her a food voucher for her use while she waited.

On the way home the news report was talking about a young man that had been speeding 90 mph, hit the back of a car killing all 4 in that car, which was then sent into another car causing those people to be taken to the hospital and the young man was currently on life support, brain dead.

Same young man.
Such a tragic story.
