• Car Accident

  The new photos are from Jared's car accident. He doesn't like to be reminded but it is amazing how he got out of that car with only a scratch. The car flipped and was upside down. The top front was smashed in. The police officer said "you are lucky you are short."

  They made him go to the hospital even though he wasn't hurt and that complicated things. His cell phone was destroyed in the crash but the police officer was willing to make some calls for him. Jared could only remember his parents number so the police officer call his parents and told him to go to the hospital

  I got a call from Jared's parents. They explained what they could but they told me all this at 6 in the morning so I was pretty confused. I wanted to know why he couldn't call himself.....and I wasn't buying "he's all right." I just wanted to hear his voice. His parents wanted to drive up and take me to the hospital (which only worried me more because it is an hour drive)  but Jared was finally able to get ahold of me and tell me to just come on my own. It was very comforting to just hear his voice. and has never sounded sweeter.

  I found the hospital (through worried tears and comforting support of Ken, Jared's father, on the phone). After we got some things from the towing lot and our barely recognizable car, Jared still wanted me to take him to work.....glass on the shoulders and all. I took him there and talked with the supervisor...they were willing to give him the day off after they saw the pictures. He needed the rest.

  The whole event made me appreciate the little times. That morning, before Jared left, was very special. If Jared hadn't been fine.....he would have given me a beautiful morning to remember.
