I cried alot today...

This morning was fun, we (meaning drama council) got up early this morning (we were up at a cabin for our drama council retreat) and cleaned up (because it was the last day of said retreat) and played outside on the swings, rock wall, and zip line. Then we headed for home. In the mountains you don't get reception. I was not prepared for the news that awaited me once we got reception again: My BEST friend in the whole world, my blood sister, my other half; Sydney Heyrend, got into a car accident late last night. She wasn't killed, luckily, but paralyzed from the waist down. She broke her back in three places and she went in for surgery early this morning. That is all I knew. I have never cried harder nor more genuinely than I cried today. But good news came as the day progressed. Early this afternoon a physical therapist was able to get Syd to wiggle her toes and her ankle which is FANTASTIC news. I went to go see her at the hospital (IHC medical center) today and she was able to talk to me pretty normally (minus the fact that she was totally on pain killers) which was encouraging. They have just about every tube or wire that you can think of stuck in her arms and she has to wear a neck brace to keep her spine stable but other than that she looked pretty good. I am opptomistic... I think. I can't tell if I'm in denial or if I really am at peace. well I'm not at peace, because I have an aching pain in my heart that wont go away no matter what I do. I love Sydney. She is the best friend and she means the world to me. PLEASE, anyone who reads this, keep her in your prayers. Only through faith and prayer can miricals happen.
