Life is SO precious....

Tonight we went up the canyon to do family night with my Dad... Carve pumpkins and eat chili, On our way around the dam at one of the look out points I noticed a van the person inside looked like they were slumped over the steering wheel, I pointed it out to Sean and we decided that if the van was still there on our way home that we would stop. It was only 5 O'clock and did'nt want to get into someones buisness... 4 hours later on our way home the van was still there, So we pulled over and turned our brights on and got out and knocked on the window and tried to get a response from the young girl inside, When we could'nt get her to wake up we called 911. While on the phone we checked for a pulse and there was no pulse... She was writting a note on a 8x10 picture of a baby.... Once the police arrived we went to our car and waited, they could find no pulse either shortly after the paramedics showed up as we waited and said a prayer for the girl and her family after what seemed like forever but only a few minutes a police officer ran around her van and gave us a thumbs up THEY GOT A PULSE.... We all cheered... We dont even know this girl but felt a bond with her.. after we did the incident report and were getting ready to leave the paramedics came around to our car and told thanks for stopping we saved the girls life... We are all in such a hurry to get somewhere in life and dont always listen to that still small voice thankfully I listened today and was aware of this van that could of so easily blended in with the beautiful sceanery.... Always take time... Even more importantly ALWAYS take time to tell people how much you love them you never know what the little words "I love you" can do for a person.. Our prayers and thoughts go out to this girl and her family...
