In 1998, my family was in a car accident when we were on a trip to Sudbury, Ontario. My mom broke her ankle. My brother Nathan’s head got cut open. My brother Thomas broke all three bones in his arm, and my brother James broke his leg. I cracked my pelvis. Three of my dad’s ribs were broke, and one of his lungs was punctured. He died on the way to the hospital.

We had to live at my grandma’s for a while, because Mom couldn’t drive or take care of us with all of our injuries. We prayed a lot and trusted the Lord to get us through, and He did. I sometimes find it hard even now because I am the only one in the family with blonde hair and blue eyes like my dad had—but the Lord helps me with it.

My mom is now remarried. My three brothers and I have a new dad who loves us and is really kind. Like my first dad, he also loves and serves the Lord. The Lord has also blessed us with two cats, one dog and seven fish. I am so thankful to have a God who cares for us!
