ok so my grandparents were in a car accident today. they were making a left turn off the freeway and sum guy goin pretty fast ran a red light and hit there car on the drivers side. they were air-lifted to usc trauma center because the paramedics on the scene werent sure how bad off they were. so my grandpa was fine but my grandma has a broken wrist and ankle and possibly a concussion. theyre still running tests and wanna keep and eye on her. since my grandpa has dimensia and cant be left at their house alone he'll be staying here till shes out of the hospital.
if u guys dont mind doing so, please keep her in your thoughts and pray that they dont find anything more serious wrong with her. shes an amazing woman and has gone through alot. shes so strong and such a rock. i love her so much and feel blessed to even be related to her...te quiero mucho noni!!!!!
the whole time i just kept telling myself be strong. and i thought i was doing it. even when i was on the phone with my uncle and had to tell him what happened but couldnt tell him if she was ok or not (since we hadnt gotten the word) i was calm. it wasnt until my mom called and told me what happened then i had to go repeat it to my brother and jean, did it really hit me. you can hear sumthing a million times but it isnt until u have to say those words that it hits home. it was as i was telling jean how my grandpa cant even remember the accident and how he thought he was at kaiser because he felt a pain in his side and that when my mom got there and said she was there to pick him up, how he asked her why my grandma wasnt pickin him up, that i just couldnt help but start crying.
you always know in the back of ur mind that they cant live forever but it never felt as real as it did today. sumone so strong and so energetic as my grandma to be in the hospitol just doesnt feel right. i mean shes in her late 70s and still works. she just has so much life in her. it just feels so weird to think about
well im out for now
thanks if u read this all. i just needed to say whats been on my mind since i got the news.
love you all so much!!!
