Puting things into Perspective....

Have you ever had your life flash in front of you? Have you ever thought of going through life without the love of your life?
Today, I had to think about both of these questions because Jonathan was a pretty serious wreck. He was hit head on and when he got out of the car, he fell to the ground. He called 911, then me. All I head was, "I'm on the hill, Bleeding, HURRY!"When I got to him, he was laying on the pavement with a puddle of blood around his head. Immediately all my nursing sense left me and I was speechless. Looking at him soaked in blood is an image I will never forget. I have never felt as scared as I did at that moment. I knew I had to stay strong for him. I applied pressure to his head until the paramedics got there. I was fine until they put him in a neck brace and onto a stretcher. He told me he loved me and would see me at the ER. As I watched them put him in the ambulance, I lost it and started crying.
Luckily someone drove me to the hospital and when I got to him, he was much more calm than when I'd left him. I had to give everyone his insurance info and all that. The nurse was asking him all kinds of questions and then asked for his emergency contact. When he said me and gave them my number, I started to tear up. This made me realize just how important we are to eachother. He is my best friend, the love of my life and someone I can't imagine going through life without.
After stiches, a CT scan and 4 hours in the ER, we left and went to Jon's last Football game. Yes, it was senior night and he was unable to play. I think that was hard for him, but certainly miniscule compared to the events of the day.
When I lay my head to bed tonight, I am going to say a special prayer of thanksgiving for the Lord's hand over Jon today. I realized your life can change at any moment, so don't ever forget to tell those closest to you how much you love them. You never know what tomorrow brings......
