She's going to be o.k.

You never want to start a conversation with these words.

I had all these things I was going to post about this weekend. Rain and hikes and mountain lions tracks. And then, "She's going to be o.k."

My sister was in a car accident this weekend. She's going to be o.k. She's in the hospital; it was serious, but not as serious as it might have been. It will be a pain in the ass and alter her life, but ultimately, not life altering.

My niece was at home.

If she wanted to spend more time with me before leaving California, she just had to say so. Really, the dramatics.

A little humor. It never hurts.

No worries about the package and all that. It will get here when it gets here.

I am so sorry about the accident and glad she will be okay. You did a great post about it, and you are right about a little humour, it heals the heart and relieves the tension. ((((Hugs)))) to you both.

I'm so sorry. No, them words are not always what the family or person wants to hear when it 1st happens. But, I'm glad she will be okay. Yes, humor is the best way to deal with stress in my book. Bless yall hearts! Hugs & prayers to yall!
Here's what I wrote about your comment on my post.
My oldest is an Eagle Scout also. I was a leader for 8 years. I stepped down because of some men, didn't want to, but I did to keep from causing problems. I really do miss it it a lot at times. I also wrote a letter to our Editor to put this in our local paper to help inform others.

Ooo dear me, poor you, poor her! Sometimes things can really bring us up short and remind us of just what really is important. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
