It's devastating. . It's friggin SAD! :'(((((((((((
I don't know. . it left me completely speechless and I just wanted to share the tragic story. .
It really depends on each individual how they interpret the story and the moral values behind it perhaps. .
One smarttttttty pants told me. . "moral of the story: propose indoors"
and like what Shrek said, "u'll never know how to treasure it until u lose it."
Another told me. . ."that's why must always appreciate"
I don't know. . I see it rather differently. . Perhaps some similarity in thoughts and opinions but rather fate being the keyword to me. .
Life is so unpredictable. . cherish every moment cause it may be ur last, they always say. .
Well, yea! People tend to neglect bits and pieces of their life. . It's more of a habituation. . U see it everyday, u get habituated to it being there. . Maybe?
Well, bottomline, WE WILL NEVER KNOW!! WE WONT KNOW. . . if tomorrow will ever come. .
Fate, fate, fate. . it's all in the book . . .changeable? I don't know. . Change for the good, hopefully, change of fate for the worse, let's avoid that, shall we?
Ehem. . .ANYWAY, back to the story. . .
I got this from MSNBC

Lightning Kills Woman Before Proposal
Fiance: 'I turned around and she was laying a few feet away'
updated 3:27 p.m. ET June 8, 2010ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Richard Butler wanted his girlfriend to think they were just taking a scenic hike in the North Carolina mountains, but he had a secret plan. When they got to the top, he planned to pull out a ring and ask her to be his bride.
Lightning struck three times as the Knoxville, Tenn., couple were on Max Patch Bald, near Asheville. The third hit Butler, 30, and his girlfriend, Bethany Lott, 25, killing her on Friday, he told the Asheville Citizen Times. He suffered third degree burns.
"She didn't say anything, and I turned around and she was laying a few feet away, and I crawled to her," he told the newspaper on Monday. "I did CPR for probably 15 minutes and the whole time was trying her cell phone, but I couldn't get anything out."
He described the lightning strike.
"I was spun 180 degrees and thrown several feet back," he told the newspaper. "My legs turned to Jello, my shoes were smoking and the bottom of my feet felt like they were on fire."
His mother, Janet Delaney, said her future daughter-in-law loved the mountains.
"She hiked thousands of miles and spent a couple of years in Utah just hiking," Delaney, also of Knoxville, told The Associated Press.
She and her son are mourning instead of celebrating the joy the engagement would have brought.
"The first couple of times I met her, I felt she was my own daughter," Delaney said. "She made my life complete and my son's life complete."
Heavy rain let up as the two walked toward the bald, but more bad weather returned including the lightning, Butler said.
"Her last words were, 'Look at how beautiful it is,'" Delaney said.
'Try to go on'
Butler turned around to see his fiancee lying on the hill.
Unable to carry her down the hill, Butler drove to the first home he found. A father and his son, who was home on leave from the Navy, jumped in Butler's truck and raced back to the bald.
"They stood on the top of the hill doing what they could for probably 20 minutes until the rescuers got there," Butler said.
After rescuers arrived, they tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate Lott. Services for her will be this week in New Tazewell, Tenn.
Butler suffered third-degree burns, but Delaney said he hasn't been to a doctor despite her urging him to go. She said his emotions seem to be in good shape.
"He's holding up better than I thought he would," Delaney said tearfully, adding, "He's going to try to go on."

Tragic, right?
Think about it for a moment. . .
It get's u thinking about life! About how much control we have over things. . .
If it's out there to get u, u can run but u can't hide. .
Life. .
Well, cherishing? He cherished her alright! He wanted to propose to her! It's just a waste. . It's a damnnnnnn friggggiiiin waste!! I feel for him. .
Guilt? Maybe. . He might be blaming himself for bringing her up there. .
Or maybe for choosing that day. .
Or for choosing that time. .
Or for not being able to attend to her quicker than he did. .
Who knows. . We'll won't know how he felt. .
We can only guess how he felt, what he went through, what he is going through now and what he will have to go through. .
But the fact remains, is that what he really felt, is feeling and will be feeling true? correct?
We won't know. . .
~
What else can I do?
But just pray for you
Cause we’ll never really know
What you went through that day
And we’ll never really know
All the right words to say
And we’ll never really know
Why this took your life away. . .

Kimmy wishing u all the best and offering my deepest condolences. .
love as always,
~♥ ♥ ♥~
