Yesterday at around 5:30pm Our family changed forever.
My sister Keirsten had a car accident.
She was on Mayport Rd. in Jacksonville FL.
She was the only one involved. She hit a cement electrical poll head on. The poll ended up in the middle of the engine of their Chevy, Suburban. She was unconscious until her brother in law came on the scene and started calling her name. He saw the whole thing from his rear view mirror. The elec. poll was cracked and there were live wires all over the car. They were able to get her out once they Paramedics saw her wake up. They believe she had a seizure. We have no confirmation of that at this time. She has not a scratch on her and was released last night from the hospital. She will be seeing a Dr. to make sure she is all right. She is still in shock. Every hour we are finding out more of the details. Her brother in law was on the phone with David (her husband) when he came on to the scene. My strength goes out to David. To be on the phone trying to get to your spouse, but also hearing the little details first hand. Waiting for some one to confirm she woke up. I know he was in agony. I have been on auto pilot until I heard her voice today. She is still a little out of it.
I know this is not an uplifting thing to write about, but life doesn't always give you rainbows and butterflies. I know that God was with her yesterday and that she was lucky. But I can't shake the feeling that this is a sign to everyone who hears this story, that don't take life and love for granted. For every moment you get to share with loved ones is priceless.
Call all your family and Friends today and tell them to be safe and that you love them!!!
