This is out of chronological order, starting with the more light hearted stuff then on to the more depressing. Yes, this is your warning. This post will get depressing.
So Tuesday, Phillip (my fiance), his mom and I went to Tokyo to have lunch. We had taken separate cars except his mom rode with him. So I get back to work and he calls me to tell me what happened to him on his way back to work. Apparently, this chick was driving a Buick with a guy as her passenger. They were stopped at a stop light when he decided to get out of the car, walk around to her side and try to pull her out of the driver's seat. He failed at that so he decided to shove her over to the passenger's side. When she finally moved he got in a drove off after the light turned green. Phillip followed him because he feared for the woman's well-being. so when the guy realized he was being followed he tried to do some quick maneuvering to lose him. Unforturnately for the asshole, Phillip was driving a 2008 Altima Coupe and can outrun that PoS buick any day. So While they're following this guy Phillip's mom calls the police and gives them his tag number, where' their located, etc etc. Finally the guy turns into an apartment complex not realizing it's a dead end. From the street it doesn't look that way (He was from out of town). He gets to the dead end, does a u-turn then, bam! there are 6 cop cars on his ass. The idiot tries to drive around the cops! But they block him in and pull him out of the car kicking and screaming. So that's that.
Then, yesterday morning Phillip's little sister is on her way to pick up her boyfriend and go to school when another teenager cuts across 4 lanes of traffic and she ends up t-boning the guy. Her car is totaled and his truck may be as well. She's ok, just a little sore.
So back to Tuesday. I get back to work and I find out a coworker of mine, who I found out not too long ago is also family, came by my office wanting to see me. So I walk over to see her and she mentions a bad car accident in my hometown and that she thinks they were our cousins. She wasn't sure about it because it was just hearsay at that point. So I call up my mom to confirm who was in the accident and it was them. They were older ladies, sisters. They had just come from the post office to mail Christmas presents and cards when they crossed the highway and were hit by a dump truck. He had a full load so there was no way he could have slowed down. Tonight is the viewing although i think it's going to be closed casket, and then tomorrow is the funeral. I'm probably going to be a basket case. I read an article that was in the paper today and it kind of hit home. I had to excuse myself for a few minutes while I composed myself. I will miss them. They were always the life of the party at family reunions.
