I had one of the scariest night of my life last night. When I was leaving work I heard on the traffic report that there was an accident in Royse City and a nasty back up. Having driving in Royse City no huge surprise, so I did not think anything about it. Later while I was waiting for dinner to be ready Alma called. It started as the weirdest conversation and turned into one of the scariest that I have every had with her. She asked if Adam went to Royse City and I said yes. Then she asked if he played football and I said yes. Then she asked if he played on JV and I said yes. By this time I'm totally confused. And then she scared me to death, she tells me that the bus carrying the Royse City JV team to their football game has flipped over. That was the wreck that I heard about on the radio earlier. I tell her that I'll call her back I got to find out it Adam is okay. The first person I think to call is Charlene. I call her phone and get no answer, so now I'm even more terrified. So I try Adam's phone, I figure if he's ok he'll answer his phone. The phone rings and then he says "hey". Talk about instant relief. I answer hey back just so happy to hear his voice. After a second I asked if he is okay and what happened. He tells me that the coach was taking a corner that bus slid off the road and it flipped, he said the coach was not even going fast. He was ok, he was helping the coaches get the other boys off the bus. The only person really hurt was his best friend Alex who they had to care-flight to Parkland. I talked to him for a few minutes just so glad that he was ok. I called Alma back to let her know that he was ok and that Charlene had him and they were headed to Parkland to check on Alex. She tells me to watch TXCN that they are covering the accident. So I turn on the tv, change the channel, and freak out. I know he is ok but to see the bus lying on its side, it still scared me. Later that night I watch channel 8 news because Adam said he was interviewed by them. There was Adam and Blake on tv, he was just telling them what happened, and Blake was just standing there. And in the next little segment I got to see my dad with my brothers on tv. Charlene was on tv today on channel 5. I cried myself to sleep last night, just thinking that I could have lost my baby brother. Thanking God that he is ok and safe and that all of the other boys are okay also. I don't know what I would do if I lost one of my baby brothers, especially Adam.
