Love you parents...

[SmiLyPR4U]

Ok everyone...

I said goodnite to my parents on Sunday night, got up on Monday morning and went to work...when I went home, they weren't there so I left them a note that I was gonna stay a my friend's house. So here I am at work today and just recieved a phone call from my dad...he was taking my mom to a doctor's appointment and a big truck passed by and took them out of course. My dad's truck (an F-150 ext. cab) started spinning and ended up on a lake where it was flooding. He got out, took my mom out and some ppl passing by helped in taking the truck out of the water before it sunk. They were fine, the truck still works...

This was a wake up call. Most of the time we take EVERYTHING for granted. I wouldn't know what I would've done if something would have happened to them. It makes me think of sooooo many things, it's insane. It definately made me realize that not cuz they are there when I leave in the morning to go to work it means that they'll be there when I come back. Also that I should express my feelings for them all the time, since we never know when it might be too late.

Just wanted to share with you all my experience for you guys not to make the same mistakes I did.

God Bless you all!

I dunno, I hate repeating myself so at least on the Tombstone I only have to say it once...! Although Talk is a lot cheaper than a chisel... Oh I have a Dremel, I could carve my thoughts into the tombstone at night, while no one is around... It would save tons, cause you know they charge my the letter...

Wow Vanessa...I'm glad everyone's okay...that's quite a wake up call...

Cherish those around you, always...

 

[phatjoe]

wow sorry to hear about vanessa this but thankfully they are ok

 

[junbug]

Thank God and the high heavens. I pray they will recover real soon. I was just on the same line of thought today as I learned that my Mom may have to undergo an operation, mainly routine, but because of her age and medical history, complications may set in. She's in Los Angeles and I am in Toronto and I just wish I can pack up and go. You know what, why not? Distance should not be a deterrent. Once the her schedule is firmed up, I am gone. Thanks for the eye-opener and reminder. All the best to you.

Vanessa ... glad your folks are okay ... very scary indeed. Your point is well taken ... always tell your loved ones how you feel about them!

 

[GJoker]

Oh crap! I'm glad to hear they came away from that in good shape~
Did the driver that knocked 'em off coarse even stop to help?

 

[BigBSBusa]

Definitely glad to hear they are okay. It is hard to not take some things for granted and sometimes it does take a wake up call to makes us remember!

..said goodbye to my dad three weeks ago..

..was holding his hands, while his soul was skirting away..

..funny thing, I thought I could keep him here..



..I swear I did, my grip was that strong..



..now, he is watching over me.. ..and I just hope I had told him, how much I loved him..

 

[daiddu]

[Aughtsix]

[jwcfbd]

That was to close. I'm glad that they are ok.

 

[Deuces]

Glad to hear everything turned out OK... but what a wake up call! I think that doesn't only go for parents... but anyone close to you.

 

[SmiLyPR4U]

Thank you everyone for the replies...me and my brother went straight home after work, they were ok, just still a little shaken and thinking of what could've happened if...

I'm just very grateful that nothing major happened and for not losing them...with what happened, I know it was God's powerful hand who kept them from death. We had a family night playing pool at home, very nice to be all together.

No...the guy in the truck didn't stop.

Yes...this goes for any loved one, not just for parents.



God Bless!
