Sense of Humor AND forgiveness...

My sister is an angel, she really is...today her son who was in the accident last night wanted to find the man whom was driving the truck that hit them and visit him. They didnt even know his last name, but they found him at the University Hospital. The man had broke his ribs, his head all stitched up and his left side like hamburger so it was stitched in layers and they were doing other tests for anything else. It could have been so much worse.
They had a great visit, talking over the details of the accident, which is was an accident after hearing his side and their side of the stories. His wife was there also and my sisters family fell in love with them as they were so loving and had such great sense of humors in such a time of tradgedy and they all realized it could have had a grim ending. Im sure they will be friends forever and ever.
There was no bitterness, just love and compassion, she said her son just loved having this experience today and it was the same for the truck driver.
Isnt it nice that a sense of humor and forgiveness can turn a tradgedy into a spiritual experience, can build our character which will get to go with us when its our turn to leave this earth.
So please send prayers for this man and his family that he can blessed to recover soon and that my nephew will be able to mentally over come this experience.

I'm so glad everyone is OK. These kinds of things make us grow whether we like it or not. Sounds like your nephew has had quite an experience! Mimi
