True Blessings in Amelia Island

We had an amazing journey to Florida the week August 5th..... in many ways. We started off the trip with a 3 day journey to Amelia island for a true vacation of relaxation with Ron's cousins, the Kesslers and their kids. We swam at the pool, played in the ocean, built sandcastles, searched for seashells, and bonded with our cousins. Amelia Island is a beautiful destination where we spotted turtles on our beach and enjoyed sunrises (or at least Ron did). But most fortunate of all was our last day. On our way out of town heading towards the second leg of our vacation at the Villages, we were struck by a small pick up truck that ran a red light. Canyon and Mom took the direct impact of the crash. However, we were so, so fortunate for side air bags, child seats, and Onstar. We escaped with only minor cuts and abrasions. Our car was totaled but Avis gave us another rental car and our cousins were nice enough to drive us to Jacksonville to take us there to pick it up. I had tears of joys for days and continue to have tears of joys for our true blessing and new appreciation for life. Thank you God! Thank you for life!
