Dear "Kelly",
Your story touched my heart. Life is so precious.
I know you will be a wonderful, kind teacher and will have much to give to your students.
May God keep you in his arms and carry you through this. Your love lives on forever.

Although I lost both of my parents in an automobile accident 11 years ago, the similarities of Kun Quian's loss echoed mine. My mother died on the scene, my dad was taken to a trauma center. Since it was back east, I tried to get to my father ASAP, but he died before I left my home to catch a plane. My mother had triple bypass surgery the year before as well. The only difference is that my parents were 72 and 78, I much older with supportive family at my side. I want to offer my support to her if she wishes that I contact her. I know when I went through this, I wanted to share my story with others in a similar situation. I never found anyone who went through this kind of trauma, losing both parents in an automobile accident. I'd like to be of help if possible.
