Thanksgiving and awakenings

Thanksgiving and Awakenings Painful lessons often yield great blessings. At no time do we feel this more acutely than the holidays. In 2009, Toti Cadavid, born in Columbia and a longtime resident of Lone, Tree, CO, almost lost her life on Thanksgiving Day. She and her husband Luis and two of their children were in Puerto Rico visiting Luis’ family. On Thanksgiving eve the couple had a joyous dinner with childhood friends, laughing and reminiscing as only old friends can do. When it was time to leave, the streets were very dark and the rain was unrelenting. Luis, who was raised in Puerto Rico and accustomed to driving in heavy rain, drove carefully but still the car skid on a turn and they slammed into the side of a mountain.

Luis was bleeding. Yet by the grace of God, they were alive and able to leave the hospital on Thanksgiving afternoon. Toti had a broken foot and severely sprained neck, and both she and Luis were bruised and cut and badly shaken, but that day they feasted on life. Immediately, on a very deep level, Toti realized that the accident was the awakening she needed to change her life.
