Pool Parties and Small Miracles

The kids got to go to a fun birthday party this afternoon. There was a pool and a huge water slide. They had so much fun. 

While they were at their party Brad had gone to the store to buy a safe. It’s a big, heavy duty, 500 pound safe. We got back home about the same time Brad and our neighbor were unloading it from his truck. I had the kids sit on the grass playing with their party bags hopefully out of the way. But just as they were rolling the ramp up the driveway past the kids, the safe fell off the hand truck and landed less than a foot from where our little Luke was sitting. I was not outside but I saw it on our video camera footage later and I can’t believe how close it was. He, we all, are so lucky. I’m feeling grateful for small miracles today. We’re all a little traumatized after that but so grateful for life. And so grateful for our little Luke.
