Jenny, I am so glad your parents will be okay! How terrifying! I can’t believe what that car looks like. They are very lucky and I am sure someone was watching over them! So nice to meet you briefly at Haven! My head is still spinning from the whole experience! Have a great week!

Jenny,

Wow!! Thank you for sharing this miracle with us and giving your readers a chance to rejoice with you, and to pray for them, you and your family!! OMGosh!! I can only imagine the helplessness you felt! The system the hospital had in place is amazing and I’m thrilled that your FB pleas brought about swift action! We bought a Honda Accord late last year and after reading the other comments, and seeing the pics of their former “car” , and hearing that they have walked away with only minor injuries, I’m glad we did! Also, thank you for sharing their picture. They’re adorable!!

Fifteen years ago, before we were married & not dating/courting, my husband Michael fell 80 FEET over a cliff! He was airlifted to a trauma hospital and apart from a nasty cut on his forehead, he walked away unbroken in body (though his head did swell a lot!). When he tells the story, he still gets teary-eyed because the truth of Psalm 139:16 became real to him – that all of the days ordained for him were written before he was born. Without a shadow of a doubt, Michael knew his purpose on this earth was not yet fulfilled AND that it wasn’t his time. It wasn’t your parents time and yes, they were protected. Praise God! God sends His Angels all the time to guard and guide us, and certainly, He was your parents Protector. I shudder to think of all the “near misses” I have no idea about. My heart goes out to Amy on this thread, for the understandable grief and questions. I’m also sorry for your brother’s passing nine years ago… Grief is never really done, but hopefully, time has helped soften the pain of loss for you, Amy and any other readers….

Please keep us posted!

In reply to Amy. Amy I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your parents, and hope I didn't imply that mine were any more special than anyone elses. My brother passed away nearly nine years ago, so I always feel like he is watching out for us, and in this case, for my parents. My mom told me that she thought she was going to die in that accident, and they certainly realize how lucky they are to be alive.

I was in a horrible car accident and I was driving my parent’s Honda and my injuries were pretty minor. When I bought my own car I bought a Honda. Which was totaled 10 years later in a car accident. I emerged unscathed and bought another (upgraded) Honda. While my friends were buying cool cars, I was ecstatic to be driving my safe Honda.

WOW I can’t believe what their car looked like. I am so happy they are alive. I truly believe we all have Guardian Angels and I ask mine for help all the time. She probably will be glad to get rid of me one day.

Goodness, what a terribly scary ordeal for all of you! I am so grateful that your parents, while battered and bruised and no doubt, quite shaken up, are going to be okay. Having worked in the medical field for many years myself, I am proud of the medical community for comforting your parents and providing top notch care. There are so many unsung heroes who work quietly behind the scenes without getting or even expecting a thank you. My husband is in his car – a Honda Accord- every day for work. It helps to know that one much like it played a part in saving their lives. And it was built right here in Ohio:) Lately, I have noticed more and more people texting while driving, talking on their phones and just being generally distracted. I wish more would come to their senses and realize that it only takes a fraction of a second to end a life this way. Nothing is worth risking that. Prayeres for a speedy and complete recovery for both your parents, as well as for you, because I’m sure this must have shaken you to the core.

Oh, Jenny! I’m so happy that your parents are okay. Praise God! And you are right, even with all the bad in the world there are good people who will help.

I lost my parents in a car accident. There would be no reason to believe they had any less guardian angels as yours but sadly, reality is that it is all about luck. They were no less special. I am very happy to see that your parents were lucky!

Seeing the photos of your parents car just brought tears to my eyes….yes, Guardian angels are among us all the time, I do believe that. Thank God for being with your parents at that moment, and yes – thank you Honda for building that Accord with high safety standards….! I can only imagine what you must have felt receiving that call – again, thank God it has all worked out so well, and your parents are safe…..
