Very Sad News

If you've been reading my posts for awhile, you will remember that there have been quite a few babies at work recently. I knitted a bib and hat for a baby boy born to our school's computer network manager and his wife. The very sad news today is that Petr and his infant son were killed in a car crash this Saturday evening. His wife was hurt as well, but is out of the hospital and their eldest son was at home with grandparents so was not involved. We all just found out today. It was sad and tragic and beyond words.

The little hat and bib were meant to bring joy... now they are just a grim reminder of loss. Please send your thoughts and prayers to this family.

Reminder: The Czech Republic has a very high death toll on its roads, so if you're planning to visit, consider public transportation or be very careful if renting or driving a car.

How terrible. I'm so sorry.

I will light a candle for them tomorrow.

Thanks. It is also sad because they just finished building a house and were to move in in a couple of weeks.

At work yesterday his desk was still piled with work. His email account with requests for help. It's strange to think that it all just ends that way.

Thanks for thinking of them, Eve.
