On Wednesday the phone rang, caller ID was a neighbor about 2 miles away. There was a female voice on the phone, talking really fast. I finally recognized my daughter and got her to slow down so I could understand what she was saying.

"My car hydroplaned and I am at Mr. Anderson's house."

"Are you okay? Do you need me to come?"

"They called 911 and the ambulance is coming and my car is upside down…"

Melissa and Kyle were indeed okay, but to make sure, they were put into neck braces and onto back boards and transported to the local ER. As I followed the ambulance into town I made all the necessary calls to husband, fathers, sister, friends. After an afternoon of monitors, exams, x-rays, and waiting on paperwork, they finally got back home. All is well except for the car, and cars are replaceable.
