Highs and Lows
Life is full of highs and lows, and often back to back. This week on Monday, we rejoiced with the addition of a beautiful new grandbaby. Last night, we got that call no one wants to get. “Dad, I’ve had a car accident.”
Our youngest crashed his new car. But any crash you walk away from is a good one, and cars are only things. 2008 he did not walk away from a crash, was cut out of his car with the jaws of life, medivacced to UCLA trauma, and spent months healing.
Last night gave me flashbacks, and I am sorry his little black KIA will have to be reconstructed some, but I am also thanking God that he is uninjured and that my stomach is almost back to normal.
Sometimes, I think I was not cut out for the real world.

I PRAISE THE LORD with you that your son suffered not injuries in this accident.
ReplyDeleteThis has been the year for "excitement," for sure. I could use some quiet time. Sigh
