Before Kinlee's accident (that's what we call it) Jerika would go to the gym in the mornings and I would get precious Lyvi time. It is true I may have been a little obsessed with her, but is that wrong? Look at that adorable face. This morning was no different we had the best morning and I got to love on her. Wow, writing this out is harder than I thought it would be. After Jerika picked her up my day went on as usual. I went to work, went to the devotional, talked to my friends and then before I went back to my office Ray called. He asked where I was and I told him I was just leaving the devotional to go back to my office. He said, "I am nearby, I am going to come visit you." That isn't completely abnormal, sometimes he comes and has lunch with me. But I still asked if everything was okay. Mind you that morning I had seen Kinlee's post on BeReal, so I thought she was okay and I was just waiting to hear from her. The minute he walked into my office I knew something was not right. He knelt down by my desk and told me that something had happened to Kinlee at the hospital and he didn't have any details but it wasn't good and she was being transferred to California via Life Flight. He didn't think she was awake but had no details. He said he had talked to Blake (Kinlee's husband) and his mom and our friend Brooke had booked a flight for them to San Diego and the hospital she was being transferred to was in Chula Vista, California. I let my bosses know what was happening and packed up and headed to home to get him packed. He told me that he didn't want me to go until we knew more details and if we would need to stay in California. So, I drove him to the airport and sent him off to California. Jerika, Lyvi, grandma and Nakia all came and stayed with me at the house for the next several hours while we waited for more news. I was in contact a little with Blake but he was focused on getting her out of Mexico and into California and little did we know it actually took them a very long time in Mexico to get her stabilized and try to figure out how to transport her. We didn't even know what happened to her or if she was awake or ANYTHING. It was horrible.
