Day 87 negative miles

5/7/2011

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? I have. Today my mom, JC, and myself were in a car accident. It wasn’t slight. In fact the car can’t be driven. Momma had to get rushed to the hospital and it looks like she might be out of commission for a while. I count my lucky stars that we are alive. Momma’s gonna be pretty sore the next couple of days, I’ve got a few gashes on my face and JC’s neck is a little stiff but we count ourselves pretty lucky. Considering we got completely blindsided by a driver running a red light, the three of us are lucky to be here. A jarring crash sometimes puts everything back into perspective.

I guess because the three of us are in the thick of things and because we aren’t far from our goal, we all immediately wondered what is the next step. How will I get to the end. We all have so much invested into this. Our blood sweat and tears have lined this trail and we refuse to see this thing fail. I know all the great friends from back home as well as the friends I’ve met along the way want to see me finish this as well. The other day, I thanked everyone for their get well wishes. Now, I’m asking for you all to direct that energy towards momma. She’s a tough one but I’d still really appreciate the positive thoughts. Especially since tomorrow is mother’s day. I love you all. I mean it!
