The weekends are crazy ones at my house, and like every other one this past one was just as rushed and crazy, but I learned a very valuable lesson with this one. In a hurry to get my daughter to softball practice, I rushed out the door telling my family goodbye. This was going t be a special day for my daughter, we were taping a video for her to send to colleges in hopes of getting a scholarship. While traveling on 275 near Tri-county almost to our exit, her small car was hit be a semi-truck. at first I thought we had just blown a tire until our car went sideways into the center lane and I was staring at the front of the semi. Trying to prepare for the impact I pulled my daughter as close as I could to me and prayed that if God was going to take someone, it would be me. After we were hit with such a large force and as we were being pushed down the expressway, I pulled my daughter away from me and looked into her scared eyes and told her that everything was going to be ok, just keep looking at me. I thought at that point, if God has decided that it was my time to be with him then I am going to go looking at one of the most precious gifts that he had given to me, HER! We walked away from the accident without even a scratch. I didn't think that we could have a closer relationship than we already had, but was I wrong. So now everyday when I leave my family, I hug and kiss my 3 boys and husband and tell them how much I love them. As for my daughter, all I have to do is look into her eyes and she already knows the amount of love I have for her. Thank you God for giving me, my daughters life and mine. So, as you walk out the door today and forever, tell your family how much you love them.
