Yesterdays announcement of the tragic accident of Natasha Richardson and her current status struck home yesterday...struck home hard. For those who may have not heard Natasha Richardson is an actress who was in the remake of "Parent Trap" with Lindsay Lohan back in the late '90s. She was well known in New York for her stage work and won a Tony for her work in Caberet.
What happened? She was learning how to ski in Canada. During the course of the lesson she had an accident of some type and appeared ok. An hour later she started to complain about not feeling well. Her conditioned worsened, tragically.
Why do I bring this up? Last Novemeber my bride was involved in a serious car accident. She was at a traffic light, completely stopped, when a car slammed into the back of her car. The driver of the other car had been distracted and because of that did not attempt to slow down. It is estimated that the person who hit Marcia was doing 50-60 mph. Since she didn't use her brakes the car behind her then hit her and M
arcia's car was hit again.
arcia's car was hit again. My bride doesn't remember that night. Fortunately angels watch over her and a dear friend called her as she was driving home. He was able to recognize that something wasn't right and stayed on the phone until she made it home. Marcia doesn't remember much of the next few months...Christmas came and went, children home for the holidays- it was a blur.
Months lost... but not my wife. For that I thank God...
For Natasha Richardson's family...remember her and them in your prayers...jsf
