Amazing how one minute can change your life...

So this weekend was a really stressful, and hard weekend. It all actually started on Thursday night around Midnight. Mike got a call from his sister who was frantic. She said the hospital called and said her husband was in a bad accident and she needed to get to the hospital asap. So We rushed to her house, Mike drove her to the hospital and I stayed with her kids. Luckily he did not have life threatening injuries, although he was pretty beat up. It was still scary.

She got the call I am scared to death to get. The call from a hospital worker who will not give you any information over the phone on the condition of your loved one, only to get there ASAP. I felt so bad for her. she thought the worst. Who wouldn't? I never want to get that call about Mike. Getting the call that my mom was gone, was bad enough.

So we ended up taking their kids and their dog. We stayed with the kids a couple nights. It was stressful, but I was happy to help. I feel like I still owe them so much for being so supportive when my mom Died. Holly told us she would take care of our pets, and not to worry, just to go. I wanted her to know that her kids were taken care of, so she could go be with her husband at the hospital.

It makes me think how one minute can change your whole perspective. Getting that call makes you reevaluate your priorities. All the petty things suddenly don't mean anything anymore. I can say that one good thing about losing my mom, is it has made me realize what is important in life. It keeps things in perspective for me. I really appreciate all I have. I appreciate my family, and I appreciate that I have such an incredible husband. One who will drive me to the cemetery and hold me while I cry at my moms grave. I cant even begin to explain how incredibly helpful and loving he has been thru everything.

So the moral of the story, is cherish what you have. You have no idea how long you have with someone. They could be gone in a blink of an eye. Luckily Holly didn't lose her husband, and the kids didn't lose their father. They came really close though. They all caught a glimpse of what could have been. Its a scary thing.

P.S.... I am on Clomid again. Today has been a very emotional day. I think a big part of it was being so brave this entire weekend with the kids, that I never had the chance to cry about the whole scary night we had on Thursday. Also it reminded me of getting the call that my mom was gone. Then add to that the Clomid, and it makes for a very emotional Melissa.

P.S.S......I pretty well fell off the face of the earth on blogging anyways. I just got tired of the computer and keeping updated. I even backed off Facebook a bit. I just haven't felt like writing or keeping things up to date. I am not sure if I will do much blogging for the time being. I just need a break from it all, but I am sure someday I will be back full force!
