Bless her heart...I imagine that's pretty hard to deal with.
You posted my thoughts exactly. Several years ago, a couple from the church we attended had their daughter go to the local fireworks display with her best friend - they were just 13 year old girls sitting on their blanket, anticipating the show. Horribly, the cannisters that shoot off the fireworks tipped or something that I just can't recall and the fireworks shot into the audience. The couple's daughter ducked or was already leaning down and the firework made a direct hit on her best buddy, killing her. There were guys there that were Viet Nam Vets and said they hadn't seen anything that hideous since their days in Nam. This poor little thing had terrible survivor guilt and we prayed for her for a long time. I often wonder how she is, she'd be around 19 or 20 now. It's just horrible beyond words. And she saw it all. Very gruesome.
