Close to Home

Last night as I sat in front of my computer trying to work out a problem with mailman, I heard a loud bang. Minutes later I could hear a chorus of sirens which lasted at least 15 or 20 minutes.

This morning I read in the Herald that a man died of his injuries from a hit and run at Richmond Road and Sarcee Trail. The person who ran was apprehended and is pending charges.

When I read the news, I felt profoundly sad that a person passed from this world and it was so close to home I could hear the moment of impact that caused his passing. I have no idea who he was, but I can only imagine he had loved ones who will feel his loss so much more than I. Even the thought of this persons suffering is saddening to me.
