Thinking about that happened

I was thinking lately. With the things going at school, UD, with the two deaths with the motorcycle accident and plane accident how hard it would be to loose someone close to you. Well like 6-7 years ago my two brothers and my dad were involved in a very serious car accident. Well it started of them going to play a round of mini golf they asked me if I wanted to go but I wanted to stay at my grammas house with her and my mom. so they left
About two hours later they the phone rings and my mom answers it thinking it was the boys asking to see if they could play another game. But I heard her saying "Ok what hospital are they at?" My heart just dropped to the ground thinking the worst. My mom sat in the kitchen, I run in asking her what happend. She sad the boys got into a bad accident and they were taken to the hospital by ambulance. My cousin came in and asked what was up. I told him everything. My mom called my aunt and she came up and picked my mom up. They both drove to the scene of the accident to confirm that it was our vehicle. My two cousins and my gramma, and myself drove up to the local hospital.
Before we got to the hospital my aunt called my cousin and said it was bad. A drunk driver who was speeding really bad and was really intoxicated hit my dad's vehicle. Spun the our vehicle around several times, made the other driver's vehicle go into the the ditch 30 yards done the road. My little brother flew out of the van and landed 15 ft from where the van stopped spinning. The police said to my mom and my aunt said if the speeding car hit a second sooner all three of my family would have died. The police were shocked my little brother was still alive.
When we got to the hospital, I went right into my little brother's room to see how he was doing. My mom, my aunt, my brother, my cousin, and a nurse were in the room. The nurse said to my little brother, who was like 9 at the time, to lift his head up. He replies saying that he couldn't. I told him he had to but he couldn't. I started crying really bad thinking that something was wrong with him. My older cousin took me and he just wrapped his arms around me squeezed me tightly and said its going to be ok, God is looking after him.
My brothers and my dad walked away with minor cuts and bruises and a bad memory and the other driver walks away to. The drunk driver did not get a ticked for speeding, driving under the influence. Oh something else it was not even his car, he did not have any insurance, and he thought his little kid was in the back seat. It just amazes me that he did not get anything.
But I thank God that my family walks away from an accident, but those two UD students did not. One died in that plane crash and one died in that motorcycle accident. I have three people walk away from an accident. Someone said bad things happen to good people. I am so thankful that nothing bad happened to my family. I just prayed for the families that lost loved ones.
I just give all the Glory and the Praise to God that He had His angles protecting my family that one tragic night. Also I just want to still pray for that man with what he did. I want God to put into his heart of conviction. I want to pray that he will find Jesus and have Him come into this mans sould!!! Amen!!
