I got hit & run'd by a guy going about 35mph while I was crossing the street in Memphis last March. Limped away with a sore *** ahd elbows (from landing in a sitting position when I came off his hood at 34mph), a busted camera lense, and a wrenched leg. Got a hotel that night, drove back home to Atlanta the next day with Boy Wonder, thanking God the whole way that I landed on my *** and not my head (so I only had some brain damage instead of a broken neck!), and demonstrated to my wife my reinforced appreciation for life. Twice. Every day I'm thankful that I'm still here to be Boy Wonder's father, and I try to take the time and teach him as much as I can about life every chance I get. Starting with how to cross the street! Every day is a blessing we should be thankfull for. I read this somewhere: "If you pray just enough to say "thank you," it is enough." I say "Thank You" every single day. Because unless you've been close, we tend to take it all for granted. -Brad
Never been the most spiritual guy, but Brad's right. I've got 5 more months of "being close", and every day I'm thankful I'm alive. And every night, I'm thankful I've made it one day closer to home.
