The Blue Wig Gal pictured here is my friend Mindy. Mindy is extraordinary in many things, but the two that most people notice right off the bat are a.) her ability to do 20 things at once with tremendous passion and grace (and still have energy to meet up for drinks at the end of the day) and b.) her incredible, palpable love and admiration for her family and friends.
Mindy lives in Phoenix and I miss my Phoenix friends bunches. I especially wish I could be there now because Mindy’s younger sister Whitney was in a really, really bad car accident a week ago. Whitney survived and has a long recovery ahead of her…and of course Mindy is by her side, as is the rest of the family.
So, if you feel moved to do so, please take a moment (or several) and send a prayer their way. Whitney is 19, my brother’s age. And if you know me, you know how fiercely I love Kyle and how protective I feel of my baby bro. Same goes for Mindy and Whitney. It’s painful for me to imagine what it’s like for Mindy to watch her sister in the hospital bed and want so very badly to make it all better. And thankfully, Whitney is getting better… the family has set up a Care Page for her and they update her progress daily. (Go to CarePages.com and sign up and find Whitney Jones’ care page.) But extra get-better-vibes are always good, and so I figured I’d post here and hope that at least some extra good thoughts and prayers find their way to Whitney and Mindy.
