My husband was in a caraccident

[Lady Edfeil]

PLEASE pray!!!!!

BillH just called me. Less than an hour after he had the passport and is back on the road home, he got in a caraccident. The guy before him braked but didn't have break lights on. He had to slam his breaks and then a truck backed into him. He is physically ok, but the car is total loss. He's so shaken.

Please, please pray for us. I can't have much anymore and neither can he.

Thinks you need to calm down........ he is ok......and it could have been so much worse. Think how worried he must be for you Eva....... by all that has happened lately *S* try not to worry so....... he has his passport and will be home as soon as he can *S*

Hang in there....... these things are meant to try us......and you have to find a way of getting past them *S*

Has calmed down a little bit. Here is the update...

Bill is, thank heavens, ok, his shoulder hurts and he is bruised from the seatbelt, but... considering what happened, it is amazing that he only has that. The car will probably be total loss, but that is nothing compared to his well being. Since the truck driver was at fault (and got a citation by the police) this will probably be resolved with a minimum of unpleasantness from the insurance (we hope).
There are quite a few blessings that we have to be thankful for! First of all, the fact that my husband is all right of course! Secondly, he had been staying with friends of the family the night before and they were able to pick him up after the car was towed away, etc. so he was not alone to have to deal with things. We found a not too expensive flight to Charlotte for him tomorrow and our downstairs neighbours have agreed to go and pick him up and to bring us to the airport tomorrow.

We only live in this appartment since nine months and actually got to know this young couple due to a (false) fire alarm FOr a long while we spoke of getting to know eachother better in passing, but about three weeks ago, I actually made the plunge and asked them to dinner a week ago. We had such a lovely evening. Then this week, they asked us and we seemed to be friends in no time. After today we can really say: a friend in need is a friend indeed!!!

Now here comes the weird factor....

When my husband called me to tell about the accident, I was not at home but at our downstairs neighbour. I was there because just a few moments before I had fallen, on my way back from the post office and hurt myself. My hands were scraped, my knees banged up, but I hadn't landed on my belly and was okay except pretty shaken, and I thought it would be better for someone else to actually bandage me, so I went to our downstairs neighbour. I couldn't for the life of me think why I was falling. I hadn't tripped, I hadn't slipped, I just found myself being propelled forward and going horizontal all of a sudden.
I was only just bandaged up and sitting down there with a cup of tea when I got the call. My mishap, and his accident must have been at the same time!

How is that for weird? The good thing is that this dear, sweet neighbour stayed with me throughout the whole worry, brought me Chinese food and chocolate cake and is going to pick my husband up from the airport tomorrow and bring us back to the airport on saturday...
How is that for being just about the nicest person ever? Can you say a prayer of thanksgiving for her? Sometimes, God just sends us his angels!

At this moment, my hands and knees are hurting like fire, but they've been cleaned up as good as possible and the whole thing is probably just an inconvenience.

For an added weird factor and the biggest reason I was in such a panick: about a week ago I had a vivid nightmare of Bill having to go to Washington (which still was only an option at the time) for that passport and being in a car crash and dying! It was so vivid that ever since, I have made him promise that if he would go to Washington, he would drive carefully. I have brought it up in every single conversation we had about Washington. I asked him to call me while he was driving to Washington (well, during stops of course) and make sure he made the necessary stops. Now Bill is a very careful driver and I am never worried that he is in an accident, but ever since that dream, I have worried about an accident during this trip to Washington... Then I got the phonecall: I have just been in a caraccident.

*shudders* Everything ended well, but gosh, this has been a week I will never forget.

They say that everything happens for a reason........and what does not kill us can only make us stronger. You have both been through a lot lately, in such a short time, and perhaps have 'grown' together from your experiences.

Dreaming of a death does not have to mean the death of a person.......it may have been simply a way of telling you to make the most of your beloved Husband and the life you have together, and to make sure he knows how much you care and how grateful you are for his love.

Take care.....and safe travels to you both

Ohhhhhhh, Eva!

What a shock! I'm so sorry... but glad he's allright... *hugs* And that you are too, after your fall! What a blessing to have such wonderful neighbors. You are both in my thoughts.

........It could also just mean that you should avoid cheese on toast before you go to bed. ;D ;D (Check your emails Eva. )

Oh how frightening! Thank heavens you are firmly in your Father's hands and protection through all of this! Still, it seems things sometimes snowball into mountains before tranquility resumes. I'm just so very thankful you both are safe!
