Miracle on the Highway: Parents Survive Head-on Collision

OK. I am so very sorry about their trip. I know how very much they were looking forward to it. I'm glad you can be with them and help to take care of them. I know that means the world to them. Hugs to everyone!!!In summary, Morfia's parents were in a serious car accident but thankfully survived due to seatbelts and airbags. Her mother, who had recently had knee replacements, is sore but released from the hospital. They had to cancel their planned trip to Greece. Morfia and her family are grateful for everyone's prayers and support during this difficult time.

I was worried about them. Glad to hear they're doing well. And I think they'll love their Rav4! That's what I drive and I love it.



Meg, there is no downside. You do have more "duties" but you will always have those times to treasure. When my mother was in her last 2 months with cancer I was a new director and I went up into a small town in WI with no computer access and became her 24/7 nurse for 2 months and I dozed (not slept) on a chair almost every night of that whole time. My business suffered of course (I was on track for that 25th anniversary trip to Chicago that October when it happened too). But I was the only one who would do it. She lived up there with my brother. Two of my sisters lived 4 hours away and another about 8 I lived 1300 miles (like 23 hours). My husband and teen sons were on their own here and my life was on hold.

I got to be there for her and I wouldn't have it any other way. It would have been much easier if she had been here. My sons and husband would have relieved me enough to at least get a couple hours of sleep in a bed. I would have seen/touched my life.

But I wouldn't change it. Our prayers are with you and even at the worse times know that you will some day appreciate the gift that you got for giving this to them.
