Just Another Day

There are times in life when we get thrown a curve ball. The unimaginable becomes a reality. What we once thought was unshakeable is completely shattered. For the Watson family this day was August 10, 2012. This day was just another rainy day like every other day the past two weeks. Their eleven year old son was getting to spend time with his biological mom that he had not been able to see much of the past few years. He and his mom were driving along and she accidentally made a wrong turn. She pulled across the highway so she could get back to where they needed to be. They were then t-boned by a log truck. That one wrong turn has changed their lives forever. She died on the scene. When the emergency Chaplain pulled up, his first reaction was, "how many families will I be calling" because he thought there was absolutely no way anyone would survive. Somehow Dean still had a pulse, he was actually alive. He was rushed into the CCU at a local Enterprise hospital. This is were they found out that he had a bruised elbow, a broken nose, a broken collar bone, bones in the back of his skull and on his face were shattered, he had swelling on his brain and damage to his temporal lobes. All that mattered was that he was still alive. Just another normal day, just a wrong turn, yet it has changed everything. So remember that this could be the last time you see someone and let them know that you love them. It could be their day that changes everything.
