This girl is my niece. Two years ago, she and her family were in a horrific crash (drunk driver going the wrong way) that killed her stepmother and left her and her father (my brother) in wheelchairs with multiple injuries. Well, you're not going to keep a 5 year old still long! She wanted to sit at the table and color and draw with my son. They're very busy kids!
And before you ask, she is doing great! Except for surgical scars on an arm and a leg, you would never know anything happened to her. My brother is doing fine, too, although it is harder to heal at 40 than at 5!

Each week a new theme will be posted here on Friday morning. You are invited to put up your best picture on your own blog with that theme in mind, and you do have the whole weekend to post your picture, so there is no rush
Remember it should be just ONE and ORIGINAL, taken by YOU,and not off the internet,
Then come back and leave a comment on this page in the comment box so that everyone can link to your blog and see your photo. Don't forget to OPEN your page to EVERYONE for that day.
By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in any way, so we can all learn and improve our techniques.
Try and post a decent size picture on your blog page for an increased WOW factor. Often so much is lost or distorted if the size is too big or too small.
Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another.
Out of the box thinking is encouraged.
~ Have FUN out there! ~

ReplyDeleteWhat a great story of courage. Relieved to hear they are both doing well now. So sad they had to go through such an ordeal. When will people learn how dangerous drinking and diving is? Inner peace.

For another reason, I have found that being closer to 70 than 17 slows healing. May God bless this child for the lessons she's showing those of us who might consider slowing down. May we remain as busy as she is.

Such a needless tragedy. I have no patience with people who drink and drive. I hope they tossed the guy in jail and threw away the key.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture.
