I have horrible, horrible news. My dear friend, Golightly, was in a car accident. I don't know many of the details, but I know she was pretty badly injured, and even that is putting it mildly.
This afternoon I was at my cousin's son's first birthday party. My phone rang. I looked at the ID, saw that it was Golightly and debated taking the call, only because I was at a birthday party, lots of people, lots of distractions, but after hesitating for a second or two, I decided to answer. When I did I was met with confusion. There was another woman's voice on the line. She told me Golightly was involved in an accident. The caller than identified herself as Golightly's mother and explained that she was going through her cell phone notifying her friends. I asked how she was doing. Her mother said not well. This is where it got a bit cloudy. I'm not sure if I heard this correctly, but I think her mother said she wasn't doing well, she experienced severe head trauma (?) and that she was in a coma. I know for sure I heard the word coma, which was absolutely terrifying to hear that a friend of mine, a dear one at that, one I had spoken to only two or three days before, was in such condition. My heart began to beat faster. I asked how it happened. Again, a little cloudy. Her mother said something about them, her and her fiance, leaving a partylast night. I'm not sure if she said there were more people in the vehicle or what, but that Golightly's fiance is doing fine. And I don't know what she meant by fine. No broken bones? Awake? Talking? Stable? She was getting a call on the other line, but I asked that she keep me posted. That is all the details I got out of the call. I kid you not, the call lasted less than a minute, and with the news being so shocking, it was hard for me to take it all in.
Oh my Lord, I'm so concerned, I'm so scared, I just can't believe this. But I've been praying like a mad woman. I'm asking for your prayers as well. Pray that Golightly makes a full recovery. Pray that she lives and is better than before. Pray that the Lord heals all. Just please pray.

What a scary phone call, and a scary situation! I'll be praying that your friend heals quickly and that you get some answers soon as far as what's going on. Keep praying!
Oh my god! I hope it was more the drama of the phone call and that she is better than she sounds! Please keep us posted. She's in my prayers.
She's in my thoughts and so are you.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe this, I just got home from vacation and was catching up on my favorite blogs, I read hers first and then saw yours. I don't know either one of you but have really enjoyed the blogs. Please keep us updated, I will be praying!
