Car Wreck

Saturday, August 3rd, 2013, I was in a car accident. Thankfully, it wasn't my fault, but even more thankfully, me and my daughter were safe. So was the girl who hit us.

 

My neck had a minor injury and my right rib cage is out of alignment, but nothing is broke.

 

An awesome chiropractor is helping me get back to feeling like myself again.

 

At home that night, I was overcome with love for my husband and daughter. It made me want to hug my best friends that second. It made me miss my siblings so bad. It made me cry to imagine life not being as sweet as it is today.

 

This isn't going to be a very long post, I just simply want those who read this, to take time to love your family. I immediately asked myself that night, "What was the last thing you said to Grant?" I am happy it was kind words, not mean ones.We never know when it could be our last words to each other.

 

I know I am not the perfect wife, mom or friend, or Christian. But I do plan on trying even harder to be better at all God has allowed me to be.

 

So Grant, I promise I am going to be a better wife. I want us to kiss each other good bye each time we leave each other and always say I love you at night.

 

Raylea, I am going to cherish you even more.

 

Friends, I want us to make even more time for each other. Even if we live miles apart, we still can chat on the phone more often.

 

David, JC, Hill, I love you three. I want us to be closer. Family vaca? :)

 

Mom, Dad, and my other Mom and Dad (my in laws), I love you four. You have helped shape me into the woman I am. God is doing what you four can't. But you four have and are doing a LOT.

 

I have amazing brother and sister in laws, who are just like siblings to me. I love them and want us to be even closer.

 

I want to mostly be closer to You, Lord.

 

I want to talk more often and longer to You. Not just for ten minutes each night. I want to sit up and talk with you for hours, just like I do with my friends here on earth. You are my Best Friend.

 

Take time to love those God gave to you.

 

Stop pushing them away and trying to be tough in life.

 

God gave you family and friends for a reason.

 

I love you.

 

God loves you more.

 

Just love today.

 

Love deep.
