A Miracle.. Thank You God..

O a missed call from the grandma I work for 5 min after I arrived at her daughters to work. Maybe she going to join her daughter and her family at the lake. So I call her back. "have you heard the terrible news? "..my heart drops.. Not this precious family with 2 darling boys!... "A (4yrs old) has been in a terrible accident "..no I think, we can't loose him! He's my sunshine! He's spent hours riding on the mower with me! Not my darling boy.. But she goes on and I realize he is alive! Thank you Jesus! He's been in a Sea-doo wreck the night before.. He was on an idling Sea-doo and guess he pinned it.. Not sure all details but sounds like out of fear as he'd been riding with his dad and just tipped on shallow water... This Lil 4 yr old shot out across about 20 feet of water and into the bush. Later the Sea-doo was found half way up a tree about 10 feet from where A was... He was airlifted to the nearest children's hospital..No brain damage, "just" a broken femur, and facial fractures and not sure about his one eye... So that made quite a week as I had 2 yards to keep up with while worrying about my dear boy and his family up there.. Not that I minded doing the yards at all for them! Today I went the 3hrs to see him... He was doing so much better and was a goof! Now I can relax.. I just sat and watched him awhile.. So glad he's still here.. It could have been so much worse...
Prayers will still be needed for this dear family as they walk this road of recovery with him...

In memory..

His parting words.. If we never meet again down here, we'll meet on the other side..
Yes grandpa we will...

Goodbye Grandpa....

"And then one day, I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to VICTORY,
I'll see the lights of Home and know my Savior lives... "
This song has been going though my head as I think of Grandpa going to his final Home today... Sang it several times yesterday and thought of him there in his hospital bed.. Today really was victory for him even if it leaves us behind missing him... He was a special man to me... He stepped in and became a real Grandpa.... I spent a very special time with him a few weeks ago saying goodbye.... Many memories flood in...
Grandpa, I miss you....
