Scary Close Call

Do you ever think about all the people that you have around you? What your life would be like without them? I never really thought about it, but today got me to thinking about it.
Today my momma came to pick me up after school. It was originally the weekend that I go to my Daddy's house, but I wanted to stay home this weekend so that I could finish an essay that is due this Monday. So I asked my daddy if I could and he said that I could. My sister Liz was going to stay here with me. So Daddy decided to come and get Kimmy early. At about 5:00 he came over and got her. They left at 5:30 and just 5 minutes later, Daddy called Momma and told her that Kim and he had gotten in a car wreck. It was very bad. His work truck was totaled. Luckily, Kim was buckled in her seat. Otherwise she would have flown straight out the windshield. Unfortunately, Daddy wasn't fastened into his seat. So he got hurt worse than Kim. The seat belt dug into her chest, stomach, and neck. She has bruises on her legs, arm, chest, and stomach. She can hardly move at all. The x-ray's showed that her neck is fine and she has nothing wrong with her bones. They say she is just going to be very sore. Daddy has a huge goose-egg on his forehead. He cut his arm and hands. This was all caused to him because he wasn't buckled in.
The wreck was caused by a guy who ran a stop sign. Daddy tried to slow down, but he could do it fast enough.
When I found out that they had crashed, I fell to my knees. Because the last thing that was said between Kim and me, was when we were fussing. I was praying so hard that she would be okay. I don't particularly like her all the time, but I swear, I would take any injury that anyone had to give her.

I also feel the same way about my Daddy. We don't always get along with each other, but I know that he loves me. And I know that I love him too. He's my Daddy. He would do anything for me. Disaster makes me think hardest. I never really think about anything, unless something happens to me or my loved ones. I hope that I will be able to realize how much all the people in my life mean to me and how much I love them.
