I'm not usually one to post about anything terribly personal, but if you have any good thoughts/vibes/prayers/pixie dust/whatever to spare, could you please send some this way? Whatever your bag, I'll take what I can get.
My little brother (who I'm closer to than anyone in the world) was in an extremely bad accident. He was hit by a semi truck while crossing the street. Whether the driver nodded off, or wasn't paying attention, or what the deal is, isn't clear at this point. My brother doesn't have any memory of it at all, which I guess is something to be thankful for in a way.
How anyone can survive something like that, I don't know, except my brother seems to have some kind of super power that way. (He's fallen off bridges and roofs and towers, and never had a broken bone in his life.) He managed to escape this with no internal injuries, still not even a broken bone. But he has a hardcore concussion, a fractured eye socket, a shattered vertebrae, and stitches and bumps and bruises by the dozens. Probably hundreds. He pretty much looks like he's been hit by a truck.
While the fact that he's alive is of course the most important thing, he's in so much pain he can hardly talk, and he has a lot of recovering ahead of him. So, his holiday season is looking pretty rough.
If you could send some good thoughts our way, I'd really appreciate it. He's truly an awesome kid, and I know he'd appreciate it too.
I'm going on a bit of a hiatus now, I have a lot to try and deal with. I'll try to get back for a holiday post sometime next week, but I can't guarantee it.
At any rate, thank you so much for being there, I love you guys, and please stay safe!
I believe in the power of prayer and I just said one for your little brother and the rest of your family. I will keep him in my prayers. He sounds like a real trooper!

ReplyDeleteI believe your brother was spared for an important purpose and I will be praying for him to recover and fulfill that purpose.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep him in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIt makes my heart heavy to hear this, and he was indeed spared for a reason. I have a younger brother and he too has been into some outrageous predicaments. So, I can relate to the upset and concern you must feel right now. I will keep your brother in my prayers and send healing thoughts to him and your family. Stay strong and take all the time you need. Every day is so precious. *hugs*
