My husband phoned me at my parents’ home in North Dakota to say a bridge had collapsed in Minneapolis. He was driving home from work at the time; he didn’t (and doesn’t) go that route, though we both have taken it on several occasions.

There were husbands, wives, fathers, mothers and children who didn’t return for supper.

I didn’t see this sad little notice on MapQuest when I did one of my searches:
Notice to Interstate 35W Travelers in the Minneapolis Area:
Due to the bridge collapse over the Mississippi River in central Minneapolis, Interstate 35W is closed northbound and southbound on both sides of the river. MapQuest is working with the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation to reflect alternate routes established by Mn/DOT. We also recommend visiting the Mn/DOT homepage for additional information. For your safety, please obey all local detour signage and police instructions.

I had a strong sense that life is precious…
…and I still do.
