A long absence

Yes, it's been awhile..weeks in fact, since I've been updating this blog at all. So why the absence? Many of you know, it's been for a very, very good reason..........

That is my 15 yo son, recovering after being hit by a car while riding his bike 2 weeks ago. It's an event I hope no other parent has to go through. There are so many emotions we've dealt with through all of this, from fear to thankfulness, but I can truly say that his sitting on the couch in this picture is nothing short of a miracle. The doctors may not be able to explain it, but I know God can! He has a long road to recovery, but is taking it one day at a time. Thankfully, he has improved tremendously over these past 2 weeks, and I expect that he will continue on that course for the duration. Life is precious-I always knew that-but wow, something like this sure makes that a reality.

  1. Amy, when I was 16, I was in a terrible wreck. The only explanation for my survival (according to the police and my dad) was the angel that must have pulled me out of the car at impact. I remember being at home after spending a week in the hospital and waking each morning to my dad just standing at the end of my bed, watching me. I can imagine that is what you are doing now. Continued prayers!
