Just over a week ago, my parents' car was stolen. A couple of days later the police found it with little damage. Repaired and returned this week.
Today, my wonderful mother was driving that same car when another vehicle hit her and sent her off the road and into a tree.
Airbag deployed. Windows shattered. Car totaled.
My mom? A slightly swollen nose and knuckles, and bruising on her chest from the airbag.
When I reached the hospital after receiving the call (and having left the girls with good friends) I found my resilient, strong irish mother lying on an ER bed with a big smile (and her feet hanging over the side of the mattress so she wouldn't dirty the linen with her shoes).
I love her completely.
And I am thanking God every moment for protecting her and returning her safely to our arms.
Amen.

I usually don't write comments as they are personal and intimate but this time, as a wife, mother, and grandmother, I am so thankful to God, my family, friends and the wonderful strangers who looked after me. Even the tow truck driver asked that I call him to tell him how I was. So, yes, I'm blessed but sad that my wheels are gone. Thanks for your love and concern. Lianne and Kim's Mom.
