My
19 year old daughter had to work a graveyard shift in Provo on Christmas Eve,
bless her heart. Fortunately, she was able to spend the evening with us. At
10:00 pm the time came to return her to Provo which, on a good day, is about a
90 minute round trip.
While
we were enjoying Christmas cheer, a massive blizzard had begun. My Utah friends
know exactly what I’m talking about. Like "Ice Road Truckers" kind of blizzard.
I
got her safely to her job and then almost made it home (3 hours after I left)
when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a pack of headlight dazed
deer! I swerved and was barely able to miss the one directly in front of me
when I heard a BANG on the right side of my van. A deer had slammed into the
side of my four wheel sleigh! While there was fortunately no damage to my car, which I’m
crediting to a Christmas miracle, that deer either didn’t wake up Christmas
morning or had one heck of a headache.
You
can say there’s no such thing as Santa, but as for me and my Freestar, we
believe.
Happy New Year, all!
