My Son

My son, James, his wife, Heidi, and their son, Atticus, were on their way to go hiking in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, June 20, 2012, when a guy came down the canyon on the wrong side of the road and hit them head on! My son received several bruises and some cracked ribs, his son was in his car seat and escaped with no injuries. His wife had to have surgery on her leg and ankle and will spend weeks if not months to recover. But the bottom line is that they survived what could have very easily been a fatal accident. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father that he watched over them and protected them.When my son began telling me what had happened over the phone, I started crying. He said, "I didn't want to upset you Mom." I told him that they were tears of joy that they were going to be OK. I don't think people understand how fragile life really is. It can be wiped out in an instance. I could have lost my son and his family, but thank goodness I didn't. They are special people and have so much love to give. I am so thankful that we will continue to have them in our lives. There would have been such a hole in our hearts and lives if we had lost them. Love you guys so very much!
