My daughter lives in Texas (much too far away!) and is a 4th grade teacher there. Her daily commute to work takes her on two major freeways. Busy, traffic filled... crazy driver filled freeways. This morning one of her tires had a blow-out. Very thankfully, she is okay!! It happened as she was turning onto the service road. If she had to have a blow-out, I am happy that it happened there, and not on one of those freeways!!
It was close enough to home that her grandma could quickly come to her rescue and trade cars with her, so that she wouldn't be too late for work. Then to make it even better, she was right near a tire store... what good luck that was! Of course, she didn't even realize that at first. She was too busy concentrating on the build up of traffic on the freeway in front of her - getting more and more worried about how late she might be. But Grandma to the rescue!!! She noticed the store and stayed until the tire was replaced, and Melissa went to work and was only about 15 minutes late.
I am so very thankful that it happened the way that it did! I wouldn't even want to think of what could have happened!
This morning I read one of Mike Dooley's(TUT) comments that puts things into perspective. Can you think of anything better in time and space than just another day?
What a morning! The man at the tire store was great. He took care of Melissa's car right away and she even got a great sale price on the tires.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear she was okay. Those type of things are never fun...
