It actually happened on Friday. Good Friday. The call came about 4:00 PM. PRAY! There had been an accident at my son's work...involving him! He actually was the lucky one, compared to his partner. Some sort of electrical malfunction had caused his partner to get shocked and literally catch on fire. My son was only a few feet away and had to extinguish the flames...with his own hands! He enhaled a lot of smoke and some heat. Since he is an asthmatic, that was a serious situation, along with the burns on his hands.
But on Saturday, his response was that they were all counting their blessings! They had survived! Even the burn victim is going to make it! He is in a lot of pain, but he should make a full recovery...eventually...
My son was able to attend the family Easter celebration. He is still not fully recovered from the enhaled smoke nor the burned hands. But he is grateful for his life and family. He is thankful that his friend, partner and boss, is going to make it.
It is incredible how fragile life is. Somebody dies every minute...somewhere. Some suffer through terrible diseases. Some leave for their daily routines of life, never to return home. It only takes one ill-timed turn, one wrong decision, being at the wrong place and the wrong time, one moment of someone's wrath...and it is eternity! Life as we know it here is done...It only takes one little spark to end or at least change a life!
