A Christmas Miracle

December 24, 2008

I’m not one for melodramatics, but that’s how I feel right now.  Amy called me yesterday to tell me that she was standing on the side of the road looking at her crumpled car after it skidded off the icy road and rolled over though a ditch.  She said that she was probably going about 60 MPH at the time.  Unbelievably, she walked away without a scratch on her and even this morning, though she has a little bruising from her seat belt, she’s not even feeling the effects of whiplash.

She was about 1/2 way between Chicago (where she lives) and Davenport, IA (where her folks live) for Christmas.  The EMT people were really helpful and her parents braved the weather and awful driving conditions to come pick her up.

We have talked a few times since then and I think both of us are still kind of in shock over the whole ordeal, but bottom line, we’re reminded of the greatness of the gift of life.
