A week later, you can still see the toll the wreck took on Clint's face especially around his eyes.
Compare his face with a picture from a relaxed and happy time here.

When Clint got to the accident scene, I saw him making his way to me and was shocked. I could clearly see the toll the delay in getting to his child had taken! As soon as I saw his face, I felt awful I had not been able to offer him more assurance during his drive. I apologized to him for it last night. He understood my plate was overflowing in the moments after Amanda's accident, and told me he felt I did "an excellent job." I know how much I struggled inwardly, so I don't feel the same, but appreciate his compliment.
The reality is: As hard as I try, I can't always be there for everyone in my family. Sometimes the job is too big, and I am too small. I am thankful to the Lord for being there for Clint and my children no matter how great or small the need.
