The Miracle of LIFE


Terra, Sophia & Jo

Sunday night I'm talking to a friend on the phone, making headbands & decide to check my email/FB before bed. Life as normal. I see a few posts from my SILS...Terra's joking around with a friend about cupcakes, Val says she got a call from Mom & Dad :(. It was late, so I tried not to read too much into Val's post, and went to bed.

One relatively sleepless night later and I wake to a phone call from my mom. She's cutting in & out & I can hardly understand a word she's saying. Terra's been in a car accident, hit head on by a drunk driver. She's stable, but will be okay. The drunk driver is in a coma, and nameless, probably an illegal alien. (This is a hot topic in AZ right now.)



Life as normal is anything but normal, I'm learning. I take for granted so many things, most especially those that mean the most to me. Life is so precious.

It's hard to take things for granted. I had a friend who was killed by a drunk driver. It's horrible! I am so thankful this time that she is ok. This will make me think more about all my blessings.
