It's been one of those days

I was getting Kari and I ready for work when Griselda calls....she never calls till around 10 that's when either her or I get into the office and realize neither one of us is there. She said Joanna is fine and I thought...I hate these kinds of phone calls, but she's been in an accident. She was supposed to drive to the Valley this evening. Well, turns out on her way to work a lady hit her car while she's on the feeder road. It appears that her car is a total loss but that is the least of it cause she's ok. I talked to her shortly after that but when I told my mom she of course freaked out and started panicking cause we couldn't reach her. We finally got through and she sounded ok she is so crazy she is still gonna come to the valley but one of her friends is gonna drive her down. I was there almost three years ago to the date. I'm sure most of you know about our horrible car accident and how extremely lucky we were to come out of it alive. Sometimes you think why did this happen to me, but in retrospect I think at the time Roland and I were so busy with work that we didn't make time for anything else. God decided that we needed to slow down. We slowed down alright. We are still feeling the effects of that day. Whether it be physically (cause I never got the surgery I needed and Roland's ankle hurts so bad he can't even stand) or mentally (cause you see a car that seems like it's not gonna stop), or financially (we had to file for bankruptcy and lost our house after that). I also was looking at the pictures the other day and I cry everytime I see them cause I realize how I almost lost everything that day. Valentine's has an extra special meaning for Roland and I cause that year we spent it in the hospital just thanking God every minute we could that we were together. Please buckle yourselves up and especially your babies cause you may be driving fine but you never know when someone else is just not paying attention. I thank god that my sister is doing fine and hope that she continues to stay strong.
