on december 14, 1998, i left home for work at 6:15 am and i didn’t step foot back in the house for 6 weeks. our daughter crystal was in a serious car accident. she was ambulanced to a hospital in brookings and then helicoptered to a hospital in sioux falls and then airplaned to mayo clinic in rochester.
some things are so very clear and engraved in my mind. some things i just don’t remember.
some things we can even laugh about now. some things still make me cry. some things make me wonder what if.
and some things are just miracles.
on december 24th, crystal came out of a coma, smiled her crooked smile, waved and said “hi dad”.
miracles.
beautiful.
A beautiful Christmas miracle! I’m sitting here crying after reading this.
And her mama is pretty good too
Thank you for the month of grattitudes!
A special blessing and miracle that the Lord granted us and that we will never forget. I’m crying today with thanks.
Such blessings….. thanks for sharing with us Kay. She is beautiful indeed.
And so are you.
Gayle
A Miracle indeed Kay. She is a beautiful girl.
That’s what Christmas is about – miracles.
I can still remember the phone call and tge first 24 hours as if it were yesterday. Lots of prayers and tears and hugs and thank god our prayers were answered!
Yeah, I’ll never forget that particular shade of green that Scott’s face took on while at the SF hospital.
