How the Journey begins

Life has many twists and turns on its Journey and this particular road started October 29, 2013.
         I received a text from my oldest daughter Korry: Both boys pee'd in the toilet!!!!!!! Can we call you?  the boys she was referring to were her own son Jazsper 2 1/2 and her nephew Dominick 2 years. Of course she called me and we gushed about potty training and how proud we were of the boys, and then she said " Oh shit, Dom just pooped. Gotta go, Love you mom by"..... Those were the last words I ever heard Korry say.
        October 30th 3:30am my phone rang showing a call from my younger daughter Kelsey, whom Korry lived with. However, it wasn't Kelsey on the phone. It was state trooper Jacob Smith asking for me. I immediately panicked and asked if Kelsey was alright. yes he said, he was there with her and she was fine. Korry I thought Korry, is Korry ok?????? The details of the conversation are crystal clear, but the outcome is all I will share: Korry was killed instantly in a head on car accident at about 11:45 last night. The other driver died also. It was a firey crash and since both drivers died it took a while to track the identity. Korry actually was not 100% identified until Friday November 1st by the state forensic department in Montgomery, when they asked me about a tattoo...
       How do you function? How do you survive the thought of never hearing her voice? Never seeing her beautiful face? And what about her wonderful young son??
        These are all questions that I asked myself in those first few days. These will be the thoughts I share. Little by little. There are so many thoughts and many are so hard to type. I will add every few days, as time and emotions allow.
