A sixth sense


I was outside in the yard weeding this evening.  Jay was cutting the grass and Ben and his buddy Jacob were riding their bikes.  In the midst of dirt, worms, and clover, I stood up and looked around.  Where were the boys?  I had just heard them seconds earlier and now I didn't see or hear them anywhere.  I felt my heart beginning to race as I called their names.  In that one second I saw a flash of blood.  And then Ben came riding up to me and said that I needed to come quick; Jacob had taken a spill and was injured.  Thank goodness he was okay-a few lacerations that was all.  I wish with all my heart and soul that there was an option to cease any child from getting heart.  It eats at my heart strings whenever my son falls.  I know it is part of life, but it just sucks!!!!
