Nine Years...

[bonnie_rocks]

It's been 9 years since the accident that claimed the lives of two very special people in my life. My world came crashing down on November 11, 2001.

I had a very bizarre and vivid dream that morning. In the dream, I was sitting in the backseat of a car, but not really... I was kinda just floating there. In the driver's seat was a girl with long hair, and in the passenger seat a guy with spiky hair, but I didn't see either of their faces. All I could tell was that both were asleep. The car veered off the road and struck a tree. When the car went up in flames, I woke up with a start... at 4:45am.

The entire day, I felt really off but yet there was also this presence around me. At 10pm, my friend Craig broke the news to me and told me how it happened and what time it happened. I was in disbelief. My dream and the time I woke up matched reality exactly. It was at that point that the presence made sense.

Billy and Cathy McLaughlin needlessly lost their lives that day. I always wonder what life would be like if they were still alive today. Billy was going to follow in his father's footsteps and be an elevator repairman and Cathy was an aspiring actress, who at the time was performing at Theater Three in Port Jefferson.

I think about them every single day. It doesn't get any easier. :(

Billy McLaughlin: October 21, 1983 - November 11, 2001
Cathy McLaughlin: September 24, 1982 - November 11, 2001

It really has been that long. I can't believe it either. :(

I haven't spoken to their mom in a while, but we used to talk all the time. I also haven't been to the cemetary in a few years. I need to go.

No one should ever have to bury their children.
