Where is the rewind button?

I so wish life had a rewind button. There are many things i'd undo, but right now,  I'd love to 'undo' my whole day. My day started out with a car accident, totaling my car, and really hasn't gotten much better. Just when I think I am about to have life sorted out, it seems like disaster strikes and I'm back and square one. At the same time, I have plenty I really need to remember to be grateful for - to not take for granted. My cousin has been in the hospital, in a coma for perhapse a week now. We have all been praying in our own ways. And today did not bring good news. What is truly hard is to read the updates posted by his children. They are in their early twenties and their lives are on standby, undergoing the awful waiting, waiting for news that very well could be bad. I can't imagine loosing my dad at that age. I wish them all the love and strength I could offer. I may have had a huge setback myself today, and I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to climb back up out of this slide down the hill, but I am so lucky to have the people around me, wonderful family who will hugs, and encouraging, a shoulder to cry on, and even a ride when I'm desperate. And I wouldn't trade that for any rewind button...
