Natasha Richardson

I was so sad to hear of Natasha Richardson's death last night. She was a wonderful actress. My heart goes out to her family and friends during this time.

I got chills when I heard of her accident a couple of days ago; it reminded me so much of the recent ordeal of my Mother's accident over the holidays. In fact, the reported cause of death, an epidural hematoma, is EXACTLY the injury my Mother sustained in her bicycle accident.

My family and I are so fortunate that 3 months later, she is HOME! We were initially told she might not even wake up for a year, and there was no way to predict what condition she would be in when and if she did...

I'm reminded by this tradgedy that I have truly seen God perform an actual miracle, (Old Testament style!) for my mother and for me. And that He is in control no matter what...I'm grateful for what He did for my mother, and my prayers will continue to go up for Ms. Richardson's family and friends as they deal with her loss.
