Today is the anniversary of my mom's accident. My senior year at Alma I was on my way from Lansing to Grand Rapids with my girlfriend and her sister to look for bridesmaid dresses and I got a call from my dad. Roads were bad and I hadn't thought too much of it, but we had heard on the radio that 96East had been closed. When my dad called he did not have good news - my mom had been in a bad accident was being taken to Sparrow Hospital. My dad picked me up and we headed right there. Mom was not in great shape but the next few months showed how determined of a woman she truly is. I am thankful that she survived, I am thankful that God has continued to bless us and that we are able to celebrate the seventh anniversary of her accident.
Dear God, thank you for keeping my mom safe. Thank you for holding onto her and allowing your work in her to continue. Amen.

I remember that day too well and I am so glad you are able to write about it 7 years later with feelings of thankfulness for her strength and full recovery. Happy early birthday to Addy! Love you. Stacey
