Have you ever felt like you were given a reality check? One month ago, I had a major reality check. I was eating dinner at a restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh and my cell phone rang. It was my dad and he called to tell me that my mom was in a car accident. I was horrified and my husband and I got in the car and made the three hour trip home to be with her in the hospital. She had fallen asleep at the wheel on her way home from work and totaled the car. If you could see the car, you would be amazed that anyone survived the wreck. She escaped the crash with a compression fracture of the spine which was surgically repaired one week after the accident. The Lord had His mighty hand on my mom that day. And, even though we were thankful that she was alive and with us, my dad was afraid that he was going to have to sell their motorcycle because she wouldn't be able to ride with her back injury. Well, let me tell you, my mom is an amazing strong woman. She is able to ride and this weekend she and my dad drove down here to the Days of Thunder Motorcycle rally. What a blessing! The Lord not only saved her life but allowed her to continue to ride which she loves so much. Here is the picture of my mom and dad when they arrived at my house on their Harley!
