Accident Part 2
I’m still sorting out my initial reaction and the little roller-coaster of emotions all weekend, so for now I’ll post links to my brother’s blog. If you do decide to click through and see pictures, be warned that they are bloody and involve stitches & some disturbing lacerations on the head of a small boy, and cuts on a very small girl.
I found myself overwhelmed with gratitude this morning–how can we possibly thank our Heavenly Father enough for keeping them safe? How do we express that profound thanks, awe, and relief that it wasn’t worse? It seems such a terrible cliche to say that our lives have changed, but they have. I’ve always felt protective of my nephew and nieces, but in the moments between finding out there had been an accident and getting to my car to go home to be with my family, I knew that I would unhesitatingly give my life in place of theirs. No question. That’s pretty powerful.

It makes me cry, too. And I miss you like CRAZY.
