On Tuesday nite, we were involved in a rather serious car accident…

We’re just very thankful that in spite of the seriousness of the accident (it was a 4 car pile up; we were the 2nd car, and we were hit twice from behind)… we didn’t sustain any injuries.

In fact, moments before the accident I (Simon) remember turning back to the kids, and asking Zach to put his seat belt properly. And Josh’s lap belt, which is usually kept quite loose, was properly tightened this time! Praise God for his watch care and protection over our lives.

We were quite shaken up initially (kids were crying for about 5 mins after the accident) but then when we calmed down, we were quite relieved that everyone was ok. And that the main cabin of the car was still intact, and no broken glass etc.

By his grace, we’re all doing fine. Lil and I went to see the doctor the next day, our necks were slightly strained, got headaches off and on. Doc says to just monitor…, but overall seems ok. In the morning God provided a doctor friend fr church (a pediatrician actually!) who came over to our house to check up on our kids. She says they look fine too. In fact, today the kids went out with with Pat and family (and some others) to East Coast in the afternoon. Zach had a fall, and had to go to NUH A+E, but he was alright, just a big bruise on his forehead and near his left eye.

Anyway, do pray that as the accident repairs get sorted out, cos’ in a chain collision like that, it’s quite complicated, and the lawyers of various car workshops would have to ‘fight it out’ to figure out who to ‘blame’ etc. What’s worse is that last car in the chain is a malaysian vehicle (which is sometimes impossible to make a claim from)

Thanks to many for your concerns and prayers…
