This is a business blog, but I am human, and today’s post is not business related.

On Saturday morning there was a tragic highway accident in New Brunswick, a neighboring province of PEI. It claimed the lives of eight people - seven of those were boys between the ages of 15-18, all members of a basketball team from Bathurst. Their coach was driving the van which lost control on black ice and collided with a tractor trailer. His wife was also killed in the crash.

I don’t understand why things like this happen. As a mother, my heart is heavy with grief for the families and the entire community that is mourning today.

I found this quote, and thought I would post it here because it sums it up quite nicely.

“Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate.” -Charlotte Gray

Rest in peace, boys.
