Oh so glad we've passed the solstice!
These dark and dreary days have me in a state.
I know how thankful I should be for all that I have
and I know that a little sunshine and longer days will lift my spirits
as the long Winter hours finally turn into brighter ones.
It's just that ...
An unforeseen, and in the blink of an eye, event
before Christmas 2024 happened.
Front end - passenger side
Rear end driver's side (where my grandson sat)!
There really are no words to express how thankful we all are to have
survived this crash with minor injuries!
Not so minor emotional injuries perhaps.
My first and hopefully last car crash ever ...
All the airbags went off.
The other two vehicle's passengers also escaped with minor injuries!
And most of all, Sully is OK!
His little voice "I'm OK" while I struggled to breath from the airbag punch - will never leave me.
So thankful for the efficient first responders and for
all the concerned folks who witnessed the event!
We are trying our best to deal with this set-back and with the crush of Christmas
that is upon us.
I pray for patience as we deal with all the aftermath.
The Good Lord has protected us and I must carry on with hope and faith
that all will be OK.
I humbly write this, not for your sympathy, just to recognize another event
and gratefulness on this life journey.
Till next time ... I will be holding my family just a bit tighter this year!
Update:
Christmas was spent with those I love and
arrangements are being made for a replacement vehicle.
Happy New Year to all my dear readers!
Rosella
So sorry about this glitch, but very thankful you and Sully were not injured physically. Yes, emotionally it takes its toll. From PA happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteOh Rosella, I'm so sorry to read about your accident but so grateful that you are okay and that you heard that sweet little voice say, I am okay, too. I can't imagine the upheaval of this event at this time of year. Yikes! So grateful that you were able to be with family and enjoy what matters most. Hugging our travelers today as they head back home over the mountain passes. Hugs and love to you and yours!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words Ellen. We are all so very grateful!
DeleteOh, dear Rosella! Ellen allerted me to your car accident and seeing these photos here takes me back a few decades to when my car looked like that! It is such a surreal moment to come out okay after that - and it must be especially so, having a grandchild in the car! I can only imagine your grateful heart, hearing those words! That's all that matters! So thankful with you!
ReplyDeleteOh Anneliese - thank you for responding in such a warm way. You know how traumatizing this can feel. We are slowly working through the details and are forever thankful! Sully was so brave through it all! We are all truly grateful.
DeleteSo thankful you and your grandson are OK, but so sorry this happened to you! Wishing you all the best for the new year! Sending hugs, love and prayers! Judy @ My Front Porch
ReplyDeleteDear Rosella! I know that this was awful! My two younger girls and I were in a car accident years ago, and I can relate to the emotional toll that it takes! I can imagine your great relief when Sully let you know that he was okay!! Oh my goodness. I am praising God for His protection on all of you! And praying for your hearts . . .
