Scary Blessings

Today was a day of blessings that came out of extremely scary circumstances. My little brother (he's 20 but still little to me) was in a horrible car accident. The officers said he should have died. If he hadn't had his seatbelt on he would be dead right now. But God spared his life. He was driving to work (not speeding I must add) and hit some water and hydroplaned. The car turned sideways, went off the road and rolled, hit a ditch, went end over end and sheared off a metal road marker. It ended upsidedown and Aaron was able to climb out the back window (because it was gone). Aaron was able to call my parents and Andrew (my other little brother) who rushed to the scene. Aaron got checked at the hospital and besides being stiff and scrapped up he is okay. The car didn't fair so well. It is totaled. My parents were collecting some of the stuff that was in the car before it was towed away and couldn't find my dad's umbrella..they finally did find it 50 yards away!

Our family is a close family. Yes we disagree at times. But the Allens in general are a tight group. You have to understand I would do anything for my brothers. I love them so much. Aaron being the baby of the family was born when I was 7. I thought he was mine. I wanted to take him everywhere with me and almost gave my grandmother a heartattack because I carried him up and down the stairs (sorry about that Marmie). We have had our ups and downs over the years but they always always filled a special place in my heart. Just thinking of one of them being hurt brings me to tears. We are all so incredibly relieved Aaron is okay.

Aaron and Andrew I love you guys. Even when we are fighting or getting on each others nerves I would not trade you for any other brothers in the world. I love how you are with Alivia and how much you want to make her happy. I would do anything for you and am so thankful that God made us siblings. I'm praying for you both.
