When we went to D’s graduation weekend recently, she was in a serious accident on the way to Baccalaureate. All the relatives were caravanning behind her, except for S, who was with her. When she called on her cell, crying and saying, “it’s really bad, Mom”, my heart was racing so fast I thought it would burst.

We came upon the scene moments later, as the police arrived. She was physically ok as was our son. But H & I were very aware at that moment that we could have lost BOTH of them in that instant. It’s a feeling I won’t soon forgot.

We didn’t make it to Baccalaureate, and had to put it behind us so we could still make graduation day the next morning the joyous day it should be. Luckily, because there were no real injuries, we were able to accomplish that.

This event certainly put everything in perspective, very very quickly.

Rrah, I’m so glad your D is ok. That’s all that matters.
