HE'S OKAY, BUT HIS TRUCK ISN'T

Dewayne called me yesterday afternoon and said the words every mom dreads to hear: "Jordan's been in a wreck". He was sitting at a traffic light which has train tracks next to it. The light turned green but a school bus had to stop again at the tracks. Everyone stopped, except the girl behind Jordan. She hit him without even hitting her brakes. She received a ticket. Her insurance company called me within a few hours to get the claim started.

Dewayne was on his way over there after spending the day in Ft. Worth. He was planning to take both boys to supper. Instead, they went to the tow truck lot to survey the damage. The tow truck driver said he figures the truck is totalled. Dewayne is more hopeful. You can imagine how Jordan feels. He LOVES his truck. Washes it regularly, vacuums, keeps it running nice and loud, put custom wheels on it with his own money...you know, takes care of it better than I keep of mine.

I'm very, very thankful no one was hurt. I'm a little (okay, maybe a lot) frustrated that this happened on his 5th day away from home. IF the truck is totalled, we aren't really prepared financially to replace it. IF they repair it, will it actually look okay and drive right? Please pray for this situation: That the insurance company will be fair, that Jordan will not be angry and that I will "keep it together" in the meantime.
