We had a real wakeup call tonight. D was in a car accident. The first words out of her mouth were my face just hurts a bit when she called us. We had no idea what was going on.

H gave her some instructions and was on his way when we figured it out. I called the motor service for a tow. Called D to let her know Dad was on his way and so was the towing service. A paramedic answered her phone. I about lost it for a moment. He said she was fine, but needed to go to the emergency room as a precaution. I headed out the door. Longest 15 minute drive of my life.

She will be fine. She’s suffering some soft tissue injuries and minor burns from the airbag, maybe a mild concussion, but should be back to normal in a week or so. Poor thing just started her first job tonight and is part of the graduation on Saturday. I think she’ll suffer through it though just fine. Her friends are already planning visits tomorrow. (Talk about a love/hate relationship with cell phones right now. She was texting while waiting for a CAT scan.)

It’s been a long night. I just needed to relieve a bit of tension here, but the real point of the post…Hug that Kid!! They are never too old.
