Happy and Blessed!

This has been an amazing week. First my daughter, my only child turned 19. Where is the time going? I don’t feel as if I am getting old, I feel better than I did before she was born. We took her back to school on Thursday. I miss my child but know as the years pass she will graduate, get married and have her family. At least as her mother I pray that it happens that way. But if it doesn't, I'll love her still.

I was riding with her and we were following her dad as we took her back to college. About 2 hours from her school, in the dead of the night, we saw her dad’s SUV veer violently to the right. Then we saw a deer run as fast as the eye could see down the highway on the opposite side. We pulled over to check on him. As we did so, I said out loud, “thank you God.” I knew that he had hit a deer, but I knew that he had been saved. My daughter saw two of them. When we looked at the damage on his SUV the front of it was damaged. The grill and bumper were both knocked all the way in. He was able to pull the grill off the fan, thus allowing him to continue to drive. It was too dark to see what happened to the deer. But we knew that he was bless as most of the time when a deer is hit they come through the windshield or hit the roof of the car. Thankfully his SUV was so high; the deer could not do as much damage.

We are so blessed!
