I am concerned about my children.  All 3 of them are going through stuff right now that is not good stuff.  But today I got a call that I dread getting.  Joey drives a trash truck and today had an accident.  I got the call at 1:15pm.  He had to wait on his supervisor, now the state patrol.  He needs to go to the hospital.  He has a cut on his head, his arm is swollen and his back really hurts.  The truck is totaled.,  Front end smashed and it is on it's side.  He said he is lucky to be alive.  It is hanging over a creek.  Screw the red tape crap and their reports.  He needs to get to the hospital.  He is on a back road on the other side of Danville.  I want to see him.  What if something is wrong internally and the idiots are waiting before they take him to the hospital.  Please let my baby boy be okay.  I'm scared.

Got home at 11:00pm.  Spent the evening at the E.R. with Joey, then took him home.  I am so, so, so very, very, very thankful to God that my baby boy is okay.  Oh he will be stiff and sore tomorrow and probably for a few days, but he is alive.  Thank you Jesus!!!  Just the thoughts of how close we were to possibly losing him makes me want to cry.  Unfortunately, this has just made it harder for him, because he does not want to get back in that truck.  Too many near misses, sliding down hills, going in and out of ditches and then this.  I feel so bad for my son.  I don't want him to get back in that truck.  Just too much stuff going on for him lately.  Please Lord, make things better for him.  It is so hard to see him hurting, both physically and emotionally and not be able to do anything to help him except be here. 

Today, Saturday, March 14, 2015, my emotions have been really close to boiling over.  It has been really hard not to start crying several times today.  I am so very thankful that Joey is okay.  I am concerned for him for all the things he is going through lately and the fact that he is so nervous about getting back in that truck.  I don't blame him.  Hopefully, with him being off this week, he will get a chance to calm down.
