It is a story only life can write. A story a Hollywood writer never would dare to come up with because it is just too unbelievable. NBC Dateline aired such a real life-story a few days ago. We never have heard anything similar. And we have to admit we were moved.....(which happens not very often):
...Two years ago, Laura Van Ryn was a 22-year-old senior studying communications at Taylor University, a small evangelical school in Upland, Indiana. She was outgoing and athletic, with a wide circle of friends and a deep faith in God. So was Whitney Cerak, an 18-year-old freshman at Taylor, who was described as giggly and joyful by her family.
The two young women had several friends in common, but never actually spoke to each other until April 26, 2006, the night a deadly car crash, followed by an unbelievable string of events, joined the Van Ryn and Cerak families forever...
Interviews conducted by Matt Laur with various family members of BOTH families - their hope, dreams , feelings and the way they deal with reality can be found on:

The questions that swirl around in our head are: What would YOU do if that happened to you? How would you deal with it? ....The hope and dreams of one family shattered after weeks of caring while the other family experiences something short of a "wonder". ....
