Pray for my community (Horrific accident)

[Quadry]

This is a graphic post, but I feel like the more I type, the more specific the prayer requests and the more prayer you will put in to it.

On Tuesday afternoon we had a horrific accident happen here. A dad was riding his 18 month old daughter in a crate on a trike bike, around their property. There was a rope in the crate and the child got the rope around her neck and the other end fell and got wrapped around the axle. The baby was decapitated and the father did not know until he got off of the bike to open a gate and the childs body was in there. He then ran to the house with the body only and the mother was obviously hysterical. The father went to look for the head and could not find it. The police found it and the mother was just rocking the baby's body inside and refused to turn loose. She held the child all the way to the hospital about 30 min and still did not want to turn loose. This mother had to hold her child like that for almost an hour and had to pick out what her daughter will be buried in.

This little girl would have been in my daughters class in school and it has hit my small town extremely hard. The parents, grandparents, cousins, everyone involved is having a ton of problems with this. Just typing this has got to me again. Please pray for everyone, as I cannot imagine anything worse than this happening. This couple has a 6 year old that was fortunately not home at the time of this accident.

Thank you for your prayers for them and everyone involved, since I have a daughter this age it really hit home.

I can not even begin to imagine what the parents must be going through. How awful. And you are right, when your own child is about the same age, it hits you hard. Prayers for all, that healing begins yesterday.

Oh, Quadry, that is the saddest thing I've ever read in my life. I cannot even imagine the kind of guilt the poor father must be feeling, and the anguish of both of the parents.

I pray that God will help the poor parents find peace and comfort in the memories they have of their little daughter. I also pray that all parents everywhere hug their children every night and make sure they know they are loved.

My heart breaks at the very thought of this. What a terrible, terrible thing.

Oh My God !
that has got to be one of the saddest more horrific things that could ever happen or I have ever read.
Many MANY prayers for the family and for the community.
I can't EVEN begin to imagin how the dad feels nor the rest of the family.
God Blessings to all.

I have given my daughter hug after hug here lately. The funeral is today and both parents have had to be heavily medicated since the accident. I too cannot imagine the guilt the father is feeling. This has been just absouletly awful to have to be around. The childs Great Aunt works with me and we are close to her, she has been just physically ill as has most of the family.

Thanks for all of the prayers and never take anything with your child, grandchild, friend or whoever for granted.

This is one of the worst things I have ever heard of involving a child. I simply cannot imagine what the parents are going through... I have a 5 year old and a 4 month old and the thought of an "accident" taking them from me is so scary. My thoughts and prayers are with them and your community.

The family is doing as well as they can now and I think the older child's activities have helped. They have been staying busy and I think that is best.

Thanks again for all of the prayers for the family.
