If you didn’t see it on the news thursday night, my older brother came close to death in a motorcycle accident on I95 on his way home from work…<\/P>
\n
He was half way passing a Tractor Trailer at about 70 miles per hour, when it veered into his lane; forcing him off the road; hitting the rumble strip, loosing control of his bike, being thrown into the air and landing face down; bike going one way – him going another.<\/P>
\n
My father who was in front of him on his bike saw the whole thing in his rear view mirror and thought he had been killed. <\/P>
\n
“oh my God, oh my God” was his words of desperation, which is ironic, as it was the first thing I said hearing that he had been in a serious accident on I95 (I knew he never wears a helmet).<\/P>
\n
It’s scarey how life can be be pulled away so fast, so unexpectedly, it’s scarey to think this morning when I woke up, that I could have been waking up to a new day without someone who has been part of my life for the last 30 years. <\/P>
\n
It’s scarey to think that his wife and children may not have had a father if just one little atom was placed differently in that whole accident. <\/P>
\n
It’s scarey to think that someone might have had to tell his children or wife that he had died there on I95 a little after 4 in the afternoon, unexpected and instantly.<\/P>
\n
It’s scarey because any day it could happen to me or my father; as we both ride bikes too, and someone would be telling our families in our abscense.<\/P>
\n
It’s scarey – because he is my brother – and of course I love him. <\/P>
\n
It’s all scarey, but praise to the Lord that he has survived!<\/P>
\n
He has multiple fractures in his back and neck, and a broken wrist. He has shattered one ankle and had to have it replaced with hardware as well as his other ankle (which he is still waiting for surgeury on).<\/P>
\n
His life will never be the same again, but he is alive, and for that I am thankful.<\/P>
\n
Amen.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
