An update on my friend...

Earlier this year, a terrible tragedy took place on a stormy Saturday night here in South Maryland. A helicopter crashed in District Heights. 4 people were killed, but somehow a 5th victim survived the horrific crash.

The story got international attention.

I later found out from a call from my best friend that it was his sister, Jordan. I was mixed in three different phases of emotion I can't remember everything. Shocking, terrible, overwhelmed, hopeful. She had been given slim chances of survival.

She not only survived, but she left that Baltimore hospital just 8 weeks later. She is home now, underdoing intense physical rehabilitation. One of her legs had to be amputated and she was in very serious condition when the scene of the crash was found 4 hours after the initial plane crash.

The entire Wells family are good religious people who would help out anyone in times of need. They did nothing to deserve what had been laid upon them. Fortunately, friends, family and neighbors returned the favor (with, of course, a blessing from God that it was not yet Jordan's time to go). The State of Maryland has promised that the Wells family will not have to pay a dime in medical bills and many people have come together to help.

She's home with family, doing better. She's able to speak again, and doctors say she will make a full recovery. With the help of a prosthetic leg, she will even be able to walk again.

Nobody is sure why she was able to survive the accident. Perhaps it was fate, or luck, but nobody knows.

Just remember folks - sometimes, miracles DO happen.
 
Sorry to hear about her leg. At least she is alive, and you still have your friend. Good luck to her.
 
Miracles happen every day. People just choose to over look them.
Best of luck to Jordan and her family.

I agree kell. Most people are looking for "Hollywood-like" epics when actually things are happening right around them.

I wish your friend the best.

So you're saying that one day you may say something positive about:
Nascar
ESPN
TV broadcast of a Cup race
Waldorf
George Bush

Well, I for one won't hold my breath...
 
My missus is one of the sunday school teachers at our local church, and sometimes the best answers do come from the mouths of babes. A little girl once answered the question "why do you think bad things happen to good people?" Her answer was ... troubling. She said it was like when you're really good at a subject in school and the teacher gives you extra homework so that you can get even better instead of being held back to the same level as those who don't try as hard.
 
The article left out how much she'll be suing for. What a shame.
It's a confusing process - they're not actually suing. Since it was a State helicopter that crashed resulting in the injuries, the State is paying for the damages from the incident but paperwork still has to be filed. Basically, it's an out-of-court settlement, NOT a lawsuit... just a technical process.

Take notes on that - there are probably lots of things in the news that are called lawsuits that aren't lawsuits. The news doesn't always tell us how things are 100% as they are.
 
OK, now for some sound advice.
1. She's only been dating her boyfriend for 9 months. And it must not be that serious since she was out with a chick instead of him.
2. She's going to get a crap load of money from the accident.
3. She's not exactly hard on the eyes.
4. Your other prospects in Waldorf, well you know...

Dude, you need to get with that. Every spare moment should be in bringing her flowers, books, music, etc. Yeah start off slow but gradually build so that by the time she gets released she'll be wondering how she'll ever go through life without you.
Just imagine a mansion in the country, a beach house. No money problems. No need for a job. Wow, if only I'd had that opportunity when I was your age.
What are you waiting for...get up and get going... :director:

Oh, and don't forget your closest dearest friends... :)

By the way the comment about being slow was just a joke, OK... ;)
