    Accidents Happen

    April 8, 10:44 PM
     
     
    This evening my husband and I took two of our children to see “High School Musical.”  The play was a wonderful adaptation of the Disney version.  Upon the conclusion of the play my nine year old vomited all over the floor in front of him at the theater.  Of course, we comforted Patrick, our eldest, to help him feel better.

    This experience reminds me that we are never in control of the events of life.  We had a wonderful evening and quality family time.  All seemed well and yet hours later my eldest son would be wrought with sickness.  On the ride home I thought about my son as he battled his wooziness in a moving vehicle. 

    I was glad that we had such a good time prior to Patrick getting sick.  I thought, “Accidents happen!”  I am glad that each moment that we have together we can find time to enjoy each other.  Life happens but isn’t it great to have special moments that serve as your Headline.  Think about it.

    Live fully,

    Mia
