Remembering on Good Friday

When the EF4 tornado happened in Murfreesboro in 2009, on Good Friday, 500 feet away from my house while I huddled terrified in my bathtub, a 30-year old mother and her 9-week old baby perished two houses away from me. I will always remember them, how close the mother was to my own age, and how unfair it was. Her parents had put the child in a carseat and hidden in the interior hallway to be safer. This Good Friday I think of them, and the girl who never lived to be three.
