My Accident and Miracle


Part 1
 

 

On Tuesday, March 6, 2007, I was involved in a miracle.  So much of it is clear like it was yesterday and yet, sometimes I feel like it was all a dream.

 

I still remember the taste of the homemade pasta salad that I had for lunch around noon on March 6, 2007.  I have not made that recipe since.  I also
remember the chocolate chip cookie I had.  I’m sure it was a pregnancy must-have, as I was about 6 months along with my baby girl. 

 

It’s funny the things we remember sometimes.

 

At 1:00 p.m. I took a little nap while 3 year old son, rested quietly in his room.  It was a very good nap because I overslept by 5 or 10 minutes.  When I woke it was past 2:00 p.m.and it was time to go get my oldest daughter from Kindergarten. 

Because I was a little behind schedule, I rushed my little son out the door. I later thought what would have happened if I had left at my usual time . . . but I try not to think that way.  It’s useless and doesn’t change anything.

 

March 6, was a BEAUTIFUL spring day in Little Rock, Arkansas!  No jacket was needed.  The sun was out, birds were chirping.  I decided to leave our car at the Otter Creek Park that was just down the street from my daughter’s school (Otter Creek Elementary).  Since it was a nice day, I knew the kids would enjoy a little walk and some time at the park.  I had just enough time to get there before the school bell rang.

The Otter Creek Park where we had planned to play

 

 As usual, I clasped my son’s small hand with my right hand.  I always wanted him to be on the side that was furthest from the busy street—I’m kind of a safety freak.  We strolled peacefully on the sidewalk together talking about 3 year old things, like Buzz Lightyear and race cars.  As we approached the bridge that crossed over the big Otter Creek ditch, I noticed a small butterfly fluttering in the clump of trees next to the bridge. 

“Look, a butterfly.  The bugs are starting to come out,” I said pointing to the trees.

That moment is that last thing I remembered . . .
