Just yesterday evening, two of our young people, a brother and sister, were in a very serious accident, and thrown out of the car, the brother flying some forty feet through the air and landng on asphault.
We were at the hospital late last night and didn't get home until nearly 1:00 AM.
The doctors are saying it is a miracle they aren't both dead...
Life is such a fragile thing.
May the Lord be with you and yours.
I came pretty near to losing two kids that are very precious to me yesterday...
Oh my goodness, Margie! What a terrible loss!!!! I am praying for you and your family!

Please remember my brother and his wife and daughter and all of the rest of my family in prayer right now. My 17 year old niece was killed in a car accident this evening.
Jamie had only had her drivers license for less than a month. My brother bought her a new truck yesterday, which she drove two times. Tonight she and a friend were headed to another friend's house to spend the night together. Jamie ran through a stop sign and was broadsided by a semi truck. She died instantly. The other girl in the truck with her is in ICU. Please also pray for her and for her family.
Thanks so much.
Who would have known that losing a niece could be so painful!!
Oh, Margie, this is HORRIBLE! My heart hurts, not only for your brother and his family, but when I think of my own teenaged sons.............we are in much prayer here.
Which brother is it?
PS: I just read the rest of the thread and realized it's Rinny......

Margie what a sad situation. I am praying for God's peace for you and your family.

How sad.
I hope when they are well you and their parents mention the word "seatbelt" to them. It is truly a miracle they are not dead. Usually people ejected from cars die. There are a few instances where a seat belt is bad but the vast majority of the time it can save your life or at least your brain from traumatic injury. I am amazed that with all the stats out there are still people who don't buckle up.
Margie- Just read this - I am so sorry for your family. I cannot imagine the loss you are suffering. I will be praying for you and your brother's family.
