jackofallgeeksSo, as I'm running out of my room for work, I just barely remember to grab my cell phone out of the charger. Not three steps out of the building, I get a call from my sister:
"Did you hear about Emily Croft?"
Five teenagers from YOA (my old youth group) had gone to the Virginia Tech game this weekend. On the way home, they had an accident, and their car flipped over several times. Two of the teens I know personally - Rob Hamerick, who was in my group and one of the guys I consider a good friend. He's a really cool guy. The crash hit him hard, I'm told, and he had to go into surgery, but I don't know any more than that.
The other one you've all heard of, Emily Croft. Jenny didn't know how bad it was, but she said they're afraid she hurt her neck. It may only be a small bother (like she can't swim or play sports), and I pray it's nothing more. I hope she's doing alright.
Please, if you're the type to pray, keep these two friends and their families in your thoughts. Hell, if you're NOT the type to pray, I ask that you keep them in your thoughts.
I hope they're doing alright.
Update (6:00pm): I called the Crofts and was able to talk with her dad. He says that they're all really beat up, and might be several weeks recovering, but he thinks they should all be fine. Considering it all, he says, they're all doing well.
