Sometimes you loose sight of the big picture...

You know... Every now and then something will happen that will remind you just how small your problems really are.

Today, I found out that my brother in-law was involved in a serious car accident on his way to work, this morning. No one is sure exactly what happened, but it seems that he was traveling in the second or third lane on Rt. 8 north when, for some reason, he veered of to the right, clipped a truck and began spinning and rolling, and ended up in the trees on his roof. He has epilepsy, so he may have had a seizure, but there is no way to tell. He was rushed to Hartford Hospital in the LifeStar helicopter. As of this writing, he is awaiting surgery to pin together his arms and legs. He also has a brain injury that the doctors are unable to tell the severity of. They need to wait a few days for the swelling to go down. We were told that they expect him to remain in the hospital for 4 weeks.

As I sit here thinking back. All my problems seem petty. I mean, if my marriage doesn't work, we'll go our separate ways and live on. But if this doesn't work out for Dave, there is no tomorrow.
