OT: Everyone is OK
Have you ever answered the phone and know as soon as you do that instead of hearing hi you hear everyone is ok but? Well, I have. I have heard it so many times in my family I should be used to it but I am not. I got a call like that about an hour ago. It was my Dad calling to tell me that my sister and her husband and all 5 kids were involved in a 18 wheeler vs van accident in Wichita Falls Tx. about an hour before that. My sister is in a hospital there waiting to find out how bad her leg is broke. The kids are fine and even though Brenda (16 yo neice is scared to death) was driving she did a great job. The truck merged into her and then proceeded to drag them a quarter of a mile over an overpass and into a retaining wall and she did a good job from keeping them from going over the overpass. Needless to say their van is totaled and probably all at the hospital. I dont know. We left a message with Alan that all they have to do is call and we will be on our way. We can get the kids, stay with the kids, or whatever needed. Please be praying. We haven't heard anything since Dad called so he hasnt either. They were on there way back to Albuquerque from Alabama.

I am so glad everything IS ok. I cannot imagine the worst of that was a broken leg. Brenda is a heroine...

How very frightening for all of you. Sounds like your niece did a wonderful job - esp. for such a young driver.
Praying everyone is alright.

It was a miracle is all I can say. We have found out that Beverly's leg wasnt broken only alot of blood vessels. Last I heard they were at the hospital waiting trying to finda a way to a hotel for the night and a rental car. They will finish the trip home tomorrow. It is amazing no one was seriously hurt. Alot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!! Thank you all for your prayers!!
