Early morning text msg

Minutes before six a.m. my phone alerted me to a text message.  It was not the kind of message anyone wants to read.

A dear midwife friend from UT was involved in a car accident the day before and had lost her life.

My head struggled to come out of a sleep induced fog and fully grasp the meaning of the message I was reading. When it dawned on me...the who, the what, the when...I began to weep.

Even now, after a few hours to process and reflect, I'm still dumbfounded, speechless.

Such a loss.  She was such a talented, beautiful young woman.  She will be greatly missed.
