My mother in law called yesterday around 7 or so. Jackie's first question....is Pete home? No, not yet, he's running late today. I've tried calling him, but can't get through. Jackie's next question...What route does he take to get home? Umm, not sure, It depends on where he parks or if he takes the light rail...Why??????? This is when she informed me of the bridge collapsing. I heard her, but I couldn't react. My mind shut off from everything, even emotion.
I did not even turn on the t.v. It was just 5 minutes earlier that I was getting a little peeved that Pete was late and hadn't called. Guilt went through my mind as well as not showing any emotion for Sam and Riley's sake. Luckily after talking with Jackie and trying to track Pete's route home on google maps, I heard him come through the door. Thank God that Pete does not cross this bridge. Thank God that Erik and Bekah were ok too.



I have been praying all night and all of this morning thanking God for Pete's safety and asking for his help. I am asking anyone who is reading this to please stop several times in your day and pray for the families involved in this terrible accident.
