Lessons...

I learned what a mother's anguish is like last Friday, torn between two children at two different hospitals. I learned that staying up 24 hours is harder as you age. I learned that siblings need one another. I learned that teenage boys have a bond of friendship like no other. I learned that it isn't all about what you do, but how it is done. I learned your body is an amazing machine and it needs time to heal. I learned baby steps are required when faced with something scary and unknown. I learned how a family pulls together when needed. I learned how strong parental love can be. I learned life is precious.

I learned that seatbelts are not an option.
