Has it really been 3 years?

Sometimes it's hard to remember how long ago something happened. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday and other times it feels like forever. But 3 years ago today the Steelers won a super bowl (yeah) and I watched it from the ER at Aultman Hospital. Why? I had a pretty bad accident. I have reminders of it daily, not just physical reminders but the mental reminders as well. Today we're in the midst of a winter storm and this morning while driving to work I had flash backs of the night I had my accident, the weather is similar.

I am thankful though for my guardian angel that night...I rolled my jeep into a field full of snow and thankful for the snow because it took most of the "damage". But while I was laying their waiting for someone to come help I remember hearing a guys voice talk to me, I had the sense to roll down the passengers window and look up, but the snow was coming in so I couldn't see anyone's face, but I heard him talk to me, ask me my name and that I was going to be ok, that everything was ok. Shortly after that the most amazing EMT's arrived and helped me, I don't remember their faces, but I remember how they worked together and made it seem so easy, this inconvenience that I had caused was easy...hmmm. When I mentioned to one of the EMT's that I wanted to thank the guy who had stayed with me till they arrived, they looked at each other as if I had hit my head...the EMT who had to of been the go to guy as he was calling the shots looked at me with a very straight face and said that there was no one at my jeep when they arrived, that the neighbor across the field had been the one that called. But no one was there....thank you Lord!

The gentleman that was with me on the way to the hospital had to be all of 12...ok more like 21, but I remember how he gave me a hard time because I had my Steelers jersey on...don’t' blame him, but he made the situation seem like it would all be ok. I watched the Steelers win the super bowl from the emergency room and I also got to talk to my dear friend Steve, oh how I miss him. I'm thankful for those moments, even when they are not the best of moment, I am thankful for them.

Today I will (as everyday) but today I will be thankful for safety and I'll be thankful for guidance and memories. Be safe as you travel through out this day we've been given.
