A mere 47 days after Kate was hit, Branden was in the same fatal condition. It was the evening of September 9, 2012. Branden and a friend were walking to a store when Branden became the aftermath of a hit and run by a drunk driver in his hometown of Pennsylvania. I was wondering how we became connected, Tammy (Brandens mom) thinks one of Kates Prayer Warriors found Brandens Page and sure enough with a few clicks some of our family and friends became members of each others page. When I went to Brandens page I could relate with some of Tammys pain, even though each and every T.B.I. is different, there are many similarities too. Just like prior to the accidents our children were at the same stage in their lives. Both recent high school graduates, both had a job and both were ready, willing and able to start their new chapter of independence. Sadly, life as they knew it had come to a complete stop. Both questioning what their future holds. They both know there are many struggles ahead of them. So contact with each other is important. Someone going through some of the same struggles you are and giving the other encouraging words of advise, helps. Their communication first started on facebook, then with the exchange of cell numbers they have become good friends. Hence is why Chad and I planned our vacation for the two of them to meet on the 2nd anniversary of Kates accident. That night Brandens parents took us all out to Rock Bottom to eat and celebrate our miracles. Thanks again, Allen and Tammy, we had a wonderful time.
