Life Flight

This weekend we were in Bowling Green for another one of Carter's water polo tournaments. On the way home, the highway was blocked off for an accident so we had to take some back roads to get to another entrance ramp.

We were parallel to the highway and could see all of the fire engines, police cars, etc. and at least one vehicle in the ditch. We then saw the Life Flight helicopter taking off into the sky and of course it made us think of your accident, with little Hayden in it flying to the hospital. It was weird actually seeing it instead of just imagining it.

It looked like the hospital was quite a ways away from the highway. Luckily, you didn't have a very long way to go to U of M. It made me thankful that they will go to any length to try to preserve life, even when it looks hopeless. That made the difference for you organ donors and for you to be with us at the hospital when you left this earth. God bless you sweet boy!

(Another weird thing that happened when we were down there this weekend is that we were right near a Crop Production Services truck on the highway on our way to Chick-Fil-A. I thought they were just a local company and I never expected to see one of those trucks outside of MI. That makes me think that I was just thinking/ hoping/praying for the ability to see the events of the accident more clearly and objectively since the initial heavy cloud of sorrow has lifted. I thought I would have to seek these opportunities on my own, like having to reach out to people like witnesses, etc., but some of it is falling into my lap, like even passing the Crop Production Services truck the other day in the Sable and seeing the tremendous size difference up close. Thank you Lord and thank you Hayden for helping me with this. Love you!)
