Just got off the phone with a friend of mine who's life almost changed forever. Last night while loading their one year old daughter into their car a drunk driver hit them. They were parked outside a friends house, just finished dinner, and were on their way home. Just a second earlier, his wife would have been crushed by the oncoming car. No one was seriously injured, the guy was arrested, the only casualty was their car.
I remember the way my life changed in 1999. July 3rd, we were getting supper ready when the phone rang. It was MUSC saying that they had a liver for my dad. We left the food on the stove. 10 days later, he died.
I remember sitting in the doctors office looking for a heartbeat on the screen. Realizing that we just lost our third baby.
I remember the day I saw Becky at the fair. I was asked by a friend if I wanted to meet her. I did, but not there. We met that next week.
I remember the day the gospel changed my life. Sitting, listening to someone speak, and for some reason it made sense. My life would never be the same.

You got that right bro. Life is a blur. The bible says "life is a vapor..." QUICK it goes.
I'm glad I got to walk with you during some of your milestone experiences, Jason.
Glad your friend is okay. That could have been so tragic.
