Back Home

It took a week for our car to be fixed. The insurance adjuster saw our car on Tuesday, and getting the parts and the alignment for a Sprinter -- it all takes time.

We got the call late Thursday that out car was ready. Our host drove us down to Studio City to get our car on Friday morning and we were off.

We made it home to Gresham, Oregon by Saturday night.

I will remember this trip with fondness. Two disabled adults, Jodie and I, took our son to Disneyland, a thousand miles away.

We ran into trouble. Accidents are no fun. The security and parking people at Universal were not nice to us.

Jodie was in tears on the phone to Triple A. The lady on the phone said everything would be okay. The tow truck guy said we would be okay. The mechanic said we were in good hands. We spent a week getting to know family better in Santa Clarita better. Jodie made the dozens of phone calls.

E saw that bad things can happen, but you get through them.

Asking for help is a part of life.

Thank God for good people in this world who answer the call for help.
