Luckily God is Good because People are C-R-A-Z-Y

Last night was a normal night at our house...everyone was in bed by 9 and we were all asleep by 10. I was fast asleep in my favorite dream state at 11:30 when my phone rang...this is highly uncommon since everyone knows we go to bed early at our house....it was my little brother...which is even more uncommon....so I knew right way that something was probably wrong...but before I could even process the missed phone call I got a text message from him that said "CALL ME 911"....so then I knew...I got up and called him and he said that our mom had been in a car accident. When I was finally able to get the whole story I learned that my mom was driving home and a truck was pulling out of a local strip club when he hit my mom's car pushing her into the curb causing her car to flip two times. My mom was taken by ambulance to a hospital trauma center nearby where they ran CT scans and other various tests to make sure she did not have internal bleeding or anything else seriously wrong with her. Her car was completely totaled and obviously in pretty bad shape. The guy that hit my mom's car did not stop one time...it was a hit and run....this infuriates me to no end. My mom ended up (by the pure grace of God) walking away without any serious injuries, but he did not know that. I am sure that he had been drinking and he was driving a company truck, but it makes me so sad that people in this world are so selfish that they would rather keep themselves out of trouble then help someone who potentially could have been seriously hurt. The people in this world are crazy, but thankfully God is good and my mom is okay...the car can be replaced....but the ignorance of the guy who hit her...well....that is a whole other story.

  1. Hopefully he'll be caught before he DOES kill someone. Glad God was looking out for your Mom :)
