I honestly have not forgotten!!!

Hiyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I have not forgotten about you!!  I have just had a doozy of a month!  My daughter and grandson were in a scary car accident.  My grandson escaped with only minor bruising.  My daughter was a completely different story.  Fractured and dislocated jaw which has required two surgeries and a fractured sacrum (pelvis part) which requires her to put no weight on it and various loose ligaments in her neck.

She is staying with me for the duration as she cannot lift my grandson and has other needs which need attending.

.......

Hows that for an excuse for not writing?  The hospital with her three specialists?  a hundred miles away, two hundred round trip.... we are up to 19 visits with who know how many more to go.  I just keep praying for the patience of Job and the Mines of Solomon!  lol!!  

I love them both so much and am just thankful that they are even still here with us.  The van flipped and twirled and pirouetted across a dark field with no highway lights at midnight.  We could not find them for almost an hour and emergency vehicles had floodlights and such out.  She was completely incoherent for the first part and when I finally got her to understand a bit about what was going on she was able to call 911 and then they could pinpoint her location.  It was a scary chunk of time, but find her, we did.  Worse for wear but still here and no injuries she couldn't recover from.  

Youth can be a gift and a hindrance.  Young enough to not realize and appreciate how blessed and lucky you are.  Add in the curse of impatience and the inability to see your own mortality and you have a recipe for disaster.  It will come with time and age and wisdom, but I think the rest of us can be thankful enough for everybody.

Question of the day:  What have you had happen to you in your life that made you feel truly blessed to be alive?

Quote of the day:Charlie Brown- "I think I’m losing control of the whole world."


Hug someone you love tonight.  Call someone you haven't talk to in a while and tell them how much they mean to you.  Never go to bed angry.  Good Night
