GR 8 FL 1

I saw the above title on a vanity plate on a car a few weeks ago. Today I am the "grateful one".
We have had stuff happening the past two weeks starting with daughter Mary being involved in a car accident. She is 26 weeks pregnant with twins and she and the babies are fine. Gave all of us a scare. They kept her in the hospital over the weekend to monitor her and the babies. Thank God all is well. The driver of the other car was a paramedic and she was just two blocks from a major hospital. Again, we are grateful that everything worked out.

Today we were in a car accident. It looks like our car is totalled. Not our fault and the other driver admitted blame and was ticketed. We went (by ambulance) to the ER and passed the tests but are sore. Should be A-OK in a day or so. Nothing big. Again, there was an off-duty Wisconsin highway patrolman at the scene who helped keep us safe and called 911. No one in the other (big) SUV was hurt.

I feel compassion for the 19 yr old driver of his mom's car. Keep him in your prayers. I don't think he read the fine print on his insurance card that said not to admit guilt, but it was obvious it was his fault becauses he made a U-turn from the shoulder into our car.
