Close Call

Yesterday, I volunteered at the school in Kaylee's class.  My awesome neighbor Sarah watched Kase for me.  When I was done volunteering, school was out.  So I drove the older two kids home and we stopped across the street (kiddie corner from us) to pick Kase up.  It was a cold snowy day and there was ice all over but Kaylee and Kase wanted to walk home.  I reluctantly agreed, but it was only a whole 2 houses away.  I said, "ok, just cross the street together".    THANK HEAVENS Kaylee listened to that rule.  I backed out of the driveway and was waiting for them to cross in front of me.  But there were a couple cars coming towards us, so the kids waited for them to pass.  And without any warning at all, a truck came ZOOMING from behind me, and went around my car.  He must have been going 40 mph!!! Kase didn't see the truck and started to bolt out.  I never felt sooo helpless in all my life!!!  It happen so quick, the truck was going WAY too fast down our street, Kase was bolting into the road.  I knew the truck wouldn't have enough time to stop.  But KAYLEE came to the rescue, she jumped toward Kase and grabbed him by the hoodie and yanked him back into the clear!!!!!!  My heart was beating out of my chest!!!!  I just witnessed my daughter save my sons life!!!!  It was a moment that is ingrained in my mind!  I am just so thankful that she was aware and fast enough to grab him!  I love my children so much, and that moment scared me to my core.  I am so thankful we have siblings to watch out for one another.
