I am so numb. I don't know what to do with myself. We are busy busy over here packing and rushing around preparing for the move. Well we didn't really think it was a big deal to skip the big family easter gathering and work at the house instead. I could kill myself for that today. I should have been there.
My best friend (who is like a sister to me and also happens to be my husbands cousin-in-law) allowed her ex (roberts cousin) to pick up all three kids from my in-laws house easter evening and take them up north to Santa Barbara with him for two weeks during spring break. This is the first time he has taken all 3 kids for more than a day since they split up almost 2 years ago.
My 6 year old neice was killed yesterday. Shewas hit by a utility truck while riding her bike in an alley behind his house. I feel like the world has stopped spinning. I don't play favorites but Trinity was the oldest and I was her favorite Auntie. She called me on Easter and read me a story on the phone. I was so proud of her for learing to read so quickly in Kindergarden. I'm sitting here wanting to do something, but not being able to move.Michelles parents drove her up last night to pick up the kids, and bring Trinity back to So Cal. I wanted to badly to jump in the car and go too. I actually was already in the car on my way, when she called me back and told me they were already an hour into the drive up.
I'm trying to decide if I should go to work today. I should, to take my mind off of it but I don't think I can handle anyone else asking me "whats wrong?" I burst out in tears and turn to a blubbering mess. I really don't know what to do with myself.

A 6-year-old girl died this afternoon after she was hit on her bike by a Verizon work truck in the 200 block of the North K/L Street alley in Lompoc.
The truck was traveling southbound in the alley, police said. The driverâs name was not released.
Police believe the girl on the bike rode eastbound into the alley from between two parked vehicles, and the utility truck driver was unable to avoid hitting the her.
The collision happened at about 2:15 p.m.
The girl was treated at the scene and immediately transported to Lompoc Hospital by American Medical Response staff, where she died.
The child was not wearing a helmet and suffered major head trauma, police said.
Speed, alcohol and drugs did not appear to be factors in the collision, but the incident remains under investigation.
The driver of the truck was cooperating with the Lompoc Police Department, authorities said.
The name of the victim was withheld
Officials are calling this a tragically, unavoidable accident.

I'm so sorry. Children's deaths are so tragic.
