One Year ago today!!!!

Wow how time flys , some times its fun and other times it's not!!!! One Year ago was just a normal day everybody was busy doing there thing working picking the kids up from school and my Mom wrote her weekly letter to Jake that went out every Wednesday no questions asked. We were all so excited because my mom had drew a big bull rifle tag it was going to be awesome she was even excited her self and hunting has never been her thing. The day was a little overcast and cooler late afternoon came and my dad and Johnny decided it was time to leave and get one more night of spotting in before Saturday came. They left and went up new canyon and and had a great time even got some bulls on video to show my mom they were excited to say the least. They got wet but had there rain gear on so no big deal they headed down the canyon Johnny turned off where he normally does to come home and my dad kept going because it was his night to close so he was going to stop at the bowling ally and check on them as you know that never happened ! Johnny came home and undressed and told me to call my dad and see what he wanted to do in the morning in the mean time my mom called me to give me and Avon order and see if Johnny had made it cause she had expected my dad by now, we talked and then there was a bang on my door that I will never forget it was a night mare come true! He says Jen there has been an accident your dad , they cant get a hold of your mom of course I was on the phone her , he told me to get my mom and head to the hospital they will meet you there I grabbed my purse and ran out the door as Johnny is yelling Bum you have got to calm down and don't speed ya right I drove faster than I ever have before, specially after the friend tells me life flight is on there way too!!! I've kind of rattled on more than i planned but you all no the rest from there I am just so thankful to still have my dad around and know that it could be so much worse my family has been truly blessed we still wonder what we are supposed to learn from all of this sometimes. I can honestly say we take life for granted we never know what we are going to be thrown with . We as a family have been through more than I would wish on any family but yet we have grown so much and appreciate the small things. I Love you Dad and am so thankful to still have you here with us. I Love you also Mom you taught me so much and are so strong Dad couldn't have done it without you ,well none of us kids could have!
