Funny how life turns.... when you feel that your life is so tough, and you're enjoying your little pity party, something happens that reminds you how good you really have it. Yesterday Scooter called from work and he sounded pretty upset - of course my first thought was "what have the corporate jerks done now" but, it was worse... two of his employees were out on a call; the driver was not paying attention, lost control of the car on a curve, and hit a tree. The driver was fine, a few bumps and bruises.... but the passenger lost his life.
My life is blessed.... my little family is all here, together. I won't gripe about being cramped.
This is the sort of post where no words,(and no comment) seems adequate. To say I feel great sympathy for everyone involved, seems insufficient.
ReplyDeleteI often have middle of the night panic attacks about how I would keep this family afloat without Doug. I will pray for this poor man's family, and for the poor driver who must be feeling debilitating guilt.
I hope you and your family have been able to take some time off to relax (and just breathe :-)
