I have two daughters.
They are both awesome.
My youngest daughter is Danielle.
She will be a senior this year. 
Scary!!!!
A couple of nights ago her and her friend and roommate Patty were driving on I-95 when they saw an 18 wheeler (big honkin' truck) hit a car.
The truck continued on without stopping. The car that was hit went into the median and flipped. Danielle pulled over immediately to help. Patty called 911 and Danielle headed for the car. When she got out and approached the car a dog ran up to her. She put the dog in her car and ran over to the flipped car.
When she approached the car the lady was upside down screaming frantically. Danielle told her to try and calm down so she could help her.
The lady started trying to crawl out and kept screaming the name "Lucy".
My daughter was trying to get the lady to tell her who Lucy was. She started looking in the car for a child seat or someone else. Finally the lady told her it was her dog and Danielle told her the dog was safe in her car. She was still trying to calm her down and ask her if she could pray with her. The lady responded, "I don't believe in Jesus, I am Jewish". Danielle told her that was fine.
They got her out of the car as others began to stop and help.
The lady then shared with my daughter that her dad had recently passed away and she also just lost her fiance'. She told her that if she lost her dog she didn't think she would want to live any more.
The lady wanted her phone and they couldn't find it. Patty called her number and they found her phone.
All the first responders showed up and the girls left after a while.
Later that night Patty's phone rang and it was the lady calling her and Danielle. She had Patty's number because Patty had called the ladies phone to find it at the accident.
She told them thanks and asked them if she could go to church with them.
They are going to pick her up this weekend and take her to church.
Patty and Danielle are excited about their new friend and hope they can be a help to her.
I am excited about who my daughter and Patty are.
They both love and care about people.
Peoples hurts always give us opportunities to make a difference.
I am proud of my Daughter.
I am proud of Patty too.

Wow. They did what SHOULD have been done! Most people would THINK about acting like this LATER.
I will be one of those praying for our visitor this weekend.
Garland and Kelli:
This is a true testament to what a great job the two of you have done in raising your daughters. Both of them are a reflection of you guys. I am glad Danielle has such a good friend as Patty.

Totally awesome story! You and Kelli have more than just this reason to be so proud of both your daughters. Praise God that He is so good and He is always with us.
Would love to meet our new visitor this w/e.
WOW! What an awesome story... You and Kelli have done an amazing job with your girls. I am so excited for the "Lady" that she is going to have an opportunity to sit in front of Pastor Troy and listen to God speak through him. And of course me being the animal lover I am, how cool is it that Lucy is fine too!
I don't know you...came to your blog via Troy's (I've known Troy since youth group a LONG time ago)...but this story is a true legacy of what an awesome job you're doing with your children. I'll be praying for Patty...I hope that she attended this past weekend and was blown away by the living God!
