E.R

Julian and Cooper spent the night with me Sunday.We had a great time just hanging out.We were already making plans to play put put  the next time they came.On Monday I get a call there has been an accident and Julian had been injured, also Damien was having chest pains.So Jessica drops the other kids off with Jolene and off to the E.R. we go.It is rare to have two members of one's family in the E.R. At the same time. It also serves as a reminder just how fragile life can be.
Julian had a stress fracture and a cut that took 9 stitches.Damien didn't have a heart attack but the doctors don't know what happened.
Life is good and then out of the blue something like this happens. Of course it would be nice to pretend we could watch and hold them so close that nothing bad would ever occur - but that is not real life.When hard times find us we face them together , pray hard , maybe shed a

few tears , and love each other through it.
Julian cried some but was very brave through the whole ordeal .Jessica was going back and forth between patients.It was a special time for me .In the hard places I want to be there while I can.We are fortunate to live close by,but it is a special thing to love someone so much that when they hurt you do as well.
