That Moment....

The moment when you get the game winning score. The moment of your first kiss. The moment of when you lose a pet. The moment when you heard your favorite band live for the first time. The moment of when you drank your first beer. The moment when your first child is born. The moment when you say "I do" to your best friend.
With most things we do, there is always that moment we remember more than any other part of the story we live to tell. Of this particular story, the moment is when my wife calls me and says with a somewhat shortness of breath, and a sense of panic, "I need you to come get me... I've been in an accident... I can't get out of the truck." It is, THAT moment... Your "fight or flight"... when you heart sinks, your stomach turns and your fist clinch....
Which initiates that moment when the worst starts to come to mind. The moment when your optimism fights back the tears. The moment of when you are pulling up to the accident site, getting stopped by the red light just feet away from where the love of your life, your best friend, is waiting in an ambulance to be taken to the ER and you can't do a DAMN thing about it. Where seconds seem like minutes, minutes seem like hours and It's those moments that consume you. You can only pray.



Kelli was in an auto accident. Someone pulled out in front of her while she was going toward Tomball and she couldn't avoid them, despite doing her best. She was in a 1/2 ton Chevy Silverado and walked away from essentially a head on collision in which she was going about 45 mph. The person was pulling out from a jack in the box and was going to go East on 2920. Kelli was headed west and had just passed through the intersection of 2978, she locked up her breaks and tried to minimize the damage, when the two vehicles collided. Luckily people stopped to help and to issue their statements of what had happened in support of Kelli.

The Tomball PD and FD responded quickly and was able to transport her and the other people involved to the hospital. She was checked out and released. She is sore and slow moving now, but is very fortunate. The accident could have been worse. The truck took most of the hit and kept my beautiful wife safe. "Chevy, Like a rock."
