Dad woke up at 5am as usual for a Wednesday morning to play basketball. By the way he goes to bed at 1 am cause he works from 3 to 11:30 pm. Anyway after basketball Keila texts to say that she will be driving home and asked if we could mention her during family prayer. Well about twenty minutes later dad gets a call from a Idaho phone number and assumed it was uncle Matt, but in the background he could hear radios and sirens and had a bad feeling in his stomach, then he was informed that Keila had just got into a car accident. Well being a parent you always assume the worst. So after speaking to Keila and determining that things could have been a lot worst Dad picks Mom up from work and heads to Boise, Idaho to bring Keila home. On the way there one of the eye witnesses called to described what he saw and said " she must be blessed or living right" cause he didn't think who ever was in that vehicle could have survived. He also mention that she was able to keep the car under control and that she did nothing wrong. Anyway he stops to help and Keila said that he was so nice that she want to find his home address to send him a thank you card for all that did for her. Unfortunately nobody saw the name of the trucking company or the plates on the truck so he probably won't be held accountable for the near tragedy in our family. Dad informed Keila that we hadn't said family prayer yet when the accident happened and she said that she had said a prayer before she left so what happened, dad was quick to tell her that she was still alive and well. Dad said after seeing Keila's car had to say a quick prayer in his heart to thank our Heavenly Father for watching over Keila and allowing her to return home to our family. So after only getting 4 hours of sleep and about 12 hours of driving every one is home safely.
