Seat Belts Save Lives

Well son was in an accident last night. As a parent I believe that is one of your greatest fears, that a police officer will show up on your doorstep or you will get a call. I don't think anything really prepares you for that panic, fear, and shock that rushes through you when it does actually happen. You are on the verge of freaking out and falling apart, but you pray for help holding it together long enough to get there and be by their side. Actually,you spend a lot of time praying in the time it takes to get to that hospital. I spend a lot of time praying anyways for God to watch over them and make sure they are okay and that they are safe. I am just so relieved and thankful he is still here and okay. He was wearing his seat belt, so glad I always harped about how important it is to wear one. But even more glad and thankful God was looking out for him. Here is a link to the pictures of the wrecked car.

Don't want anymore of those calls. I remember twenty years ago when DJ and I were together and his son Andy was in a wreck at 19- he was not wearing a seat belt and it was a very different outcome. Andy died  in a matter of a few hours. He was brain dead. In a few precious moments everything changed. Part of me felt like I was re-living the horror of that night all over again- very emotional. I am just so thankful my son is still here.
I know many people but don't like to wear seat belts, but they can really save a life. In this case, one saved my son,   so please stress the importance of wearing one to your own kids because tomorrow one could save your son or daughter.
