Desiree, revisited.

Depending on how long you’ve been reading HIKH, you might remember my post about my friend Desiree, who died when she was 12. In today’s Wichita Eagle, there is an article mentioning her death. She was killed when their car was hit by a train at a poorly marked train crossing. And still, no changes have been made to make that crossing safer.
I had picked up today’s paper and this article was a the top of the front page. In the middle of the article is her picture. It was like seeing a ghost.
I still think about her every once and a while. To see her face again made me spine tingle. She shouldn’t have died like that. She would have done so much with her life.
