Last time I was here was with my Grand parents! We had so many cans just walking from their house to Turtle lake back and forth, we also did adopt-a-highway in Lake Park, Detroit Lakes, Audubon, Outside of town on 34, and for our churches. Had a car accident North of Lake Park on 9, taking a break with 2 other friends. Just loved to vent to each other about life, was distracted talling to them. I popped a U-turn like routine habit, right infront of a big semi. Gave the driver nightmares, I was told at a wedding later. Before my mama even knew it that morning classmates Nick, Ope, think a Desiree called my mom. She said she shook so hard she dropped her coffee. By the time the first responder's took me to St. Mary's, I was still knocked out cold but the driver of that Minnkota recycling truck should sleep well knowing he saved my life. Legend says he still walks the earth today! Katie was 16, Amber was 16 or 17, Sarah was 15 1/2 in ages. All rural ladies, some married with kids graduating now. Proud of us all. I woke up in St. Mary's freaking out! Kept yelling my mom is gonna kill me. Officer Tim Gordon calmed me down. I was smoking a cig during that U-turn, 89' subaru wagon was a shift-stick, my cherry of my smoke got my leg, and I told my own D.A.R.E. cop I was smoking a cigarette underage and distracted driving, wrecked my 1st offical vehicle on that road, my 1st was a pony of America, next an uncle's boat, but a john deere tractor always. Tim said, that's okay, we are all glad you all are alive. Said: me, too. Still freaked out when my mom came in my room, her father Arne used to get upset now and then. He'd see a kid get hurt and say, "Now why the hell, would you do that for?" Because, I fell Grandpa. But, I fell. I cried. Then got back up again. I learned from pain, still a pain, but love puts me back together again! Thank you St. Marys for the porkchop that night. Hard to eat and an X-ray showed I broke my jaw. Amber and I clunked heads, Sarah freaked out in the backseat, driver knew just what to do like a combat veteran. I don't know? Honest. They said it would come back someday, that memory. I hope I can hug him, bring a pop top or two again, a treat donation towards Humane Society of the Lakes, 4luvofdogrescue, Dennis Lange at Auroch's, Detroit Lakes Animal hospital, St. Mary's Hospital in Rocester, Methodist across from Mayo, Ronald McDonald house charity house helped me there, 4H, a dump they call pound, becker pet and garden, Becker County Sheriff, Dispatcher's of hearts, DLPD, R&G subaru of some town. All my dads and moms agreed was a good choice for my 1st car. My puppy Cocoa died a puppy after getting spayed. My mom and I got a call to pick her up, somewhere between the drive there she passed away. Maybe my mom knew before... and heard: "Alway's remember to spay or neuter your pets!" A line Bob Barker said, because he had a Wife say it then to him. Life happens. It rises again every morning like a reset button before you hit snooze. Thanks to God, The Creator, and us all... the holy ghost loves us. My judge is in heaven, and I can't help but smile, some Heaven Is waiting for a mutt like me. Love you, thank you again. I hope I don't forget who I am again!
