The lady that hit us was unbelievable. She came up and gave me her business card (she's some sort of pastor) and asked if the cops needed to come. I couldn't believe it. I could barely stand up b/c I was shaking so badly and so worried about Piper. Not to mention, my car was pretty messed up. She never said another word to me, never asked about sweet Piper. I was so disappointed. My prayer for her is that God will give her compassion for others, or at least that she'll not ever hand out another business card claiming to be a pastor when she shows no display of love or compassion.
I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am this morning that we're okay. Things could have easily gone the other way. As Cam and I were leaving our hospital room in the ER we saw two men wheeling away someone who wasn't quite so fortunate. Earlier that night we had seen about 30 people waiting at the ER and we knew they were all family, I'm assuming they were the ones to receive the bad news about their loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad y'all are ok! I can't imagine how scared both of you were.
She asked "IF" the cops needed to come? For crying out loud!
I've wished for years that they'd put a stoplight at Lower Ridge Road. Unfortunately, there will probably have to be a much worse accident than yours to make it happen.
I'm so glad y'all are ok. I can't imagine how terrified (and furious) I would be.
I admire your graciousness as well. Had the lousy woman done that to my family, you can bet I would be posting the information on her business card all over the Internet.
I'm so glad you both are ok. That had to be very scary with lil' Piper. I'm glad you didn't listen to the lady about having the police come out.
I am so relieved to hear you're OK! I can't imagine how scary that must have been for you!
Oh MY! So thankful you are both OK. Maybe by giving you her business card, she was just owning up to her mistake...giving you her name and number for insurance and other things??? Just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt! Crazy. Sometimes I wonder what non-believers think of "Christians" and their behavior sometimes. *If that lady was one!* I can't imagine hitting another car and NOT seeing if everyone was OK...especially if I saw a newborn...I would go hysterical!

I am sooo thankful you guys are okay. Thank you so much for letting me rock Piper to sleep the other day, I thought back to that several times during the day...it really was a blessing...just something about newborns that make the world right! I cannot believe that lady, then again, I cannot believe myself somedays! Oh and your header looks so good, neat touch!
What I think goes unnoticed in all of this is Madame Jenny is never without a camera.
If the situation were a bit less tramatic, I feel confident we would have a picture of this woman of the cloth.
Can't trust pastors, she must get paid pretty well to be able to afford business cards though.

Oh Jenny! Thank the Lord it wasn't any worse. You guys are in my prayers.
Thanks for encouraging me to start a blog. I think I am going to love it!
