Small Sad World

Do you remember the news report several weeks ago concerning the two college students whose identities were mixed up following a serious automobile accident? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13067706/

Well, in keeping with the "small world" theory, it turns out that the girl who died was our neighbor's niece. Too too sad.

Before the accident, we saw our neighbors almost daily. Since the accident, we haven't seen them outside the house once. It seemed like the day after they got back from the funeral, their 4 kids were off to spend the summer with relatives in Michigan. The mom and dad have been gone all day every day since the kids left. Occasionally, we see an interior light on late at night, but most of the time both of their cars are gone and the house is empty. I'm guessing they decided to throw themselves into their jobs to get over the shock and try to get back in touch with reality. I dunno. If I ever get a chance to talk to them again, I'll try to find out.
