I sent out some e-mails this morning to people I care about. One I sent to my step-grandchildren's mom. I love her as if she were truly my daughter-in-law. When I returned from church, there was a note from her in my mailbox. I'll share it here:
Hi Penny,
I was just thinking about you. I needed to tell you that yesterday morning D was driving home and had a head on collision. He is ok, and only by the grace of God. His truck is totaled. It happened because K and D went to Magic Mountain Friday night with their church, they got back to the church at 3:00am, but they have an option to be locked in until 7:00am and just play games. He went to breakfast with K and some friends and then headed home to go to sleep. He fell a sleep at the wheel just before turning onto Grand Ave. the busy street which frightens me. He hit a Ford Explorer head on. The Lord spared 6 lives yesterday. There was 2 adults, a teen girl, a 6 yr old and a baby in that car, all walked away.
Well, tomorrow we leave for a 4 night cruise which is for K and D's graduation. It was almost spoiled yesterday.
We have a lot to thank the Lord for.
Talk to you soon,
Love
These young people have grown up before my eyes. When I first met the family, my late husband and I were not married too long and K was a baby - she had the most beautiful eyes and smile. Then D was born. He was so cute! Big brown eyes and a hint of a smile at all times. It seems yesterday that they were babes. This year they are both graduating from High School. K is 18 and D is about 1 1/2 years younger. They are clean, responsible young people living a life for Christ. I give the Lord thanks that our grandson is alive and well. Yes, I did say our grandson. These tall blondish kids love me as their true grandma and when I chose to remarry, they accepted Rob as part of the family and call him Grandpa. We look a little wierd when we are all out together, They and their mom are quite tall - their step-dad (long story) is short, I am round, Rob is brown as are our girls. Yet we feel the fellowship of family. Praise God for his mighty riches!
and he carried my grandson and 6 others to safety yesterday. I hope the rest of your Sunday is as blessed as mine has been.

Thank God everyone is OK! It's scary how quickly things like serious accidents can happen- but I am very glad that your grandkids and the other people were unhurt~ As for your family~ you all sound so warm and close- closer than some 'blood' families. I think it's great and incredible how you all are so well bonded! God Bless you and your family this coming week Penny! Love Carolyn

I've always said I have two kinds of family members.... some are because we share blood and some are because we share hearts.
