The girl in the hospital was thrown fifty feet from the van and was on a respirator. When the paramedics got her, she was breathing on her own, but they hospital felt it was a better idea to put her on a respirator so that her body could concentrate on healing itself. Because she had a brain injury, the doctors inserted a tube in her skull as a pressure-monitoring device. This girl was one of four survivors in the accident, and her injuries were the worst. Doctors stated that she is lucky to be alive. When the nurse handed the family the girls belongings, the family realized that those, in fact, were not their daughters. None of the items matched anything Laura owned, but they did not think much of it.
"Memories of Laura flashed through his head, along
with the fear that he would never enjoy such moments again."
The way the book is set up, the chapters go back and forth between the two families, which is why I am kind of going chapter by chapter. I believe this passage is significant because it describes how families can get through situations like this and explains that there is always going to be someone that is there for you, whether it is one person or a hundred people. The thought of this happening is so terrifying to me, and the fact that it did happen is still extremely shocking. It kind of makes you wonder how many other times it has happened to families in the past.
I like how you use the quote, and I like the picture you used.
