I just lost a friend in a motorcycle accident yesterday and I was right behind him riding and I saw everything happen and it replays in my head every single second and I heard him take his last breath and I still don’t know what I could have done more...he was my best friend from freshman year and we were gonna start our senior year...I will forever ride for him...

@dinishaaaliyah Жыл бұрын

I hope you’re hanging on in there, there’s nothing you could have done more because it was out of your hands, I’m so sorry you’ve experienced such heartbreak first hand I truly hope you’re doing well

Sometimes things happen beyond our control. Do good for others. Find Jesus and follow Him. Serve and you will be blessed. This world and society is positioned opposite so it feels like paddling up stream sometimes but God always will bless and keep His servants. May God grant you peace, comfort, and grace along with your friend, his loved ones, and yours. In Jesus' name. Peace

Step one, you say we need to talk He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left, and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all, you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And I pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
