WE ARE SO BLESSED

Our Mom and Sissy
had made plans to go shopping yesterday -
a rare girls day out.

But we awoke
yesterday morning to a heavy
covering of fog.
At first they thought they
wouldn't go,
but then decided they would.

Just minutes after they crossed the border
from Virginia to North Carolina,
there was an accident
about 4 miles behind them.

Cars and tractor-trailers
stacked on top of each other
blocked the road,
but they had no idea it had happened.

Before they started home,
Dad called to let them know that I-77
was blocked, so they came up Highway 52.

When they got to the top of the mountain,
they had to back-track
and go around another way.

But thankfully, they made it home
safe and sound -
about 4 hours after they had planned
to be here.

We were so happy to see them
and we feel so blessed
that they were not involved
in any accidents.
According to reports
2 people were killed,
and 16 were seriously injured.
At least 75 vehicles were involved
and 1/2 of them were tractor-trailers.

Hug your peeps
and tell them how much you love them.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi
