Sweet Tender Mercies



I first want to say how much I love my little girl! She is such a blessing in my life. This week has been hard to say the least, I got a call Monday morning from my mom saying that my brother Curtis had been in a serious car accident. He was driving home Sunday night and a truck broad-sided his car. His two kids were in the car with him and miraculously were ok (Abby does have a broken arm, and Max has some bumps and bruises), but my brother on the other hand is in critical condition. I struggled when I heard the news, knowing that I was away and couldn't help. It was hard, especially when Blake had to go to work. But there was my sweet little Jaylee, she was my sweet tender mercy during this hard time. She would look at me concerned and then give me a huge smile, it was like she was telling me things would be okay. And for the most part she was right. Curtis still has a long way to go before he is out of the woods, but they were able to stop the internal bleeding and his brain hemorrhage seems to be decreasing. The doctors say they are cautiously optimistic about his recovery. I want to thank all of those who have been such a good support to my family and Curt at this time. Please keep Curt and our family in your prayers.
