...people can't. it's been a wild day. as some of you may know, my dad was in a MAJOR accident this morning on 610 south. it involved 8 cars and 2 18-wheelers and, thankfully, everyone survived. my mom and sister were on their way to special k's eye surgery this morning when i got the call from mom saying dad was in an accident and was being transported via ambulance to the hospital.
a quick phone call to work followed by a frantic dressing of mason and we were out the door. i dropped him off at school & headed downtown to find dad. we knew he was ok (he had called my mom several times), but we also knew he was mildly incoherent (having the same conversation over and over again and bleeding).
not only did the wreck wreak havoc on rush hour traffic, it also made the news.
wow. you just never expect to see your dad hurt and in a hospital bed. by the time i got there he was talking coherently, but he looked bad (no offense, dad!) he was covered in blood, laying on his back, and wincing in pain. i'll spare you the rest of the gory details, but after 6 hours, 20 staples to the back of the head, 5 stitches in his mouth, and a little super glue, he was walking out of the hospital. thank you God for sparing him and the others involved in the accident.
hug the ones you love. it became glaringly obvious to me today how much i need my family and how little everything else matters when push comes to shove. here's to answered prayers and a grateful heart... i love you, dad!

Glad he is ok. Just a reminder that we need to hug our loved ones even tighter because you never know what the day will bring. :)
OH MY! Hope he heals up completly.
