Time stood still and wasn't so important!!!

I had to work 7-3 today, come home 30 minutes to pick up 4 kids and drive another 45 minutes to go to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. I need to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow morning for work, the freeway I would normally take was shut down so I had to take a back road, I was enjoying the company of a friend, her son, my two kids and my sisters two kids, while the kids were singing in the back I came upon an intersection and I could see a firetruck, an ambulance and about 10 police cars. I thought what most people probably thought-OH GREAT HOW LONG WILL THIS SET ME BACK. We got closer and all of a sudden time didn't seem so important. Amongst the lights of all the emergency vehicles there was a lady sitting on the curb by a broken bicycle holding in her arms a small child while the rescue workers were bringing over a stretcher. It gave me goosebumps, made me want to cry and squeeze both my kids tight and never let go. My heart goes out to the family that doesn't wake at 4:30 to go to work but instead stays up all night in a hospital! Sometimes we take so much for granted, when the important things are right in front of us the whole time!
