In The Blink of an Eye

Life’s Like This — Every day, millions of people put their lives at risk because of their poor driving habits. Last night, my wife and I were watching Grey’s Anatomy. In this episode, entitled “Sudden Impact” a family was in a horrible car accident. According to a recap by Entertainment Weekly, “… the family’s grandma died at the scene after what looked like some massive bleeding to the neck. The other injuries were painful to look at, too: The father was suffering some sort of crushed pelvis situation; the mom was a mess; the younger sister had a shard of glass in her eye; and the brother’s legs were basically smashed under part of the car. The only somewhat healthy member of the family was the oldest child, daughter Lily, who seemed mostly not injured.” After losing her grandma, Lily witnessed her mother’s death and later made the painful decision to remove her father from life support. It was a heart-wrenching episode that concluded with Lily telling her siblings of their parents death.
