Thanks be to God!

This isn't really the post that I thought would be the first after vacation. Yes, I'm definitely slacking on that one, but I will get to it.

Rob had a race last night and thirty laps into the fifty lap race, as he was running in either 4th or 5th place, he had the most horrific accident that I've ever seen in person. He came out of turn 4, on the inside of another race car. The other driver essentially turned left on him and Rob's right front tire caught the other car's left front tire. This caused Rob's car to be launched over the top of the other car and it started to barrel roll. He hit the wall on the front stretch, bounced off (still rolling) and continued to roll as he slid across the asphalt into the infield in the center of the track. His car was still moving forward and then it finally stopped. It was crushed and Rob didn't put his door net down to indicate that he was okay. I saw the whole thing and as he was launched into the air and until he got out of the car, all I could do was scream, "Oh my God! Oh my God!" I know that my God heard my anguished scream because Rob did get out of the car on his own. He is okay, but we went to the hospital last night to make sure he got checked out because he blacked out and did not remember parts of the crash. I want to thank our friends who were there with me and took care of Cody when all I could do was pray that my husband wouldn't be killed. I've never been so scared before when he was in a wreck. I am thankful that he and his crew spend so much time and effort making sure that the car is in the best shape it can be in. Yes, the car is totalled, but all of the safety features did their job. The halo, or roll cage, has a crack in it so I know that it hit hard. I also want to thank Spleeve and Steph for watching Cody when we went to the hospital. It is such a blessing to have friends who will drop everything to come to our rescue. Spleeve came over to our house so that Cody could go to sleep in his own bed. Thank you!

Before we went to the hospital (because it wasn't life threatening), Rob came home to take a shower and I put Cody to bed. Before he got in the shower he was telling me what happened as I hadn't had a chance to talk with him one on one yet. He went through the story and said that while he was rolling over he saw a blinding flash of white light and at that point, he thought he was going to die. So I say, thank you God for not taking my husband and Cody's father yet. I guess He just knew that I wouldn't be able to go on without him. If you pray, please thank God again for me and my family. I would appreciate it. Peace to you all!
