One of my oldest and dearest friends was in a very very serious car accident two days ago. I found out yesterday at around 2:30 and I am being overrun by so many emotions and feelings and thoughts.
First was fear - what will happen?
Second was guilt - they had been trying to get a hold of me since earlier in the day. My phone was in my purse on silent because I was at work.
Third was fear - what will happen...
Fourth was the need to help in some way and then of course back to fear!
And this has been going on since yesterday.
She was airlifted to Vancouver so that some of the best doctors in the world could work on her! She has sensation in her legs but no movement. The body is an amazing thing and I truly belive her own body is protecting her while the surgeons stabilize her!! She spent most of yesterday in surgery and will be in the hospital for 3 or 4 weeks and then in rehab for several months.
Her husband is the strong and silent type. He does his own thing and I can respect that. I spoke with him yesterday and he didn't seen any merit in me going there. I asked him to keep me up to date but of course I am the last thing on his mind. I am hoping her sister will let me know how things are going and when I can see her.
I suppose I have done all I can do. I let the family know that I will do whatever needs to be done, I can bring them whatever they need or want. I got down on my knees and begged God to heal her. I cried.
I know it is selfish of me but I just need to touch her! I just want to hold her hand and see that she is okay. Every second that the clock ticks by feels like three hours to me!
I tried to drug myself into a good sleep, but I just woke up tossing and turning all night. I hate feeling this helpless!
So I am asking you dear reader...Please Please Please pray for me, that I can find some peace and patience. Please pray for her that she will have a miraculous healing. Please pray for her family that they will have peace and financial miracles that will help them through the next 5 hard months and possibly even longer! Pray for all the things that won't even come to my mind yet!
