Ive been holding back on saying anything but i have it in my heart to tell you of GODs grace and love.
5/2/24 @ 2:02pm. While at work my son in law calls me crying and in a panic. He said Rachel i need you to come hurry, i said why whats wrong. He tells me Natalie Arellano (my daughter) got hit by a car. He passes the phone to a police officer who tells me she has a gash on her head thats bleeding. Immediately i rush out of work to get to my baby who was headed to Baylor Dallas. As a mother im thinking all kinds of things but most of all get to my baby. I get to the hospital at the same time as the ambulance she was in. I see my son in law and ask why are u not with her and he said they wouldnt let me. It took an hr and a half before we could see her. We were there from 3pm to 8:30pm when she was released with just scratches, bruising, and swelling. All in all they were crossing a cross walk together. They had the right of way to walk because the ealk sign flashed. As they began to cross my daughter was walking ahead of her husband while holding his hand. He pulled her hand back because he noticed this red car coming fast and the ladybwas not pay attention, however she still ended up hitting my daughter. Who flew up in the air and landed on the street. Then this lady attempted to flee but others didnt allow her too.
The enemy tried to take my baby out. Mind you he is here to steal, kill, and destroy. He attempted to destroy me destroy my family, he attempted to kill me by killing my daughter, he attempted to steal my joy and steal her light...but GOD happened as she got hit by that car while walking GOD kept her covered in a blanket of HIS mercy, compassion, grace, protection, and love. It could have been far worse BUT MY GOD saved her kept her in HIS hands. Today i go back and forth with anger, with sadness, thinking of all people why my daughter. It shouldve been me instead, o GOD let me take her hurt, her pain for her. The fleshy side of things wants me to go find this lady as my baby told me on the hospital bed, mommy i want you to beat her up. The momma bear in me says yes but GOD in me tells me to forgive her and let me.
