Car Accident
Just thought I'd let everyone know that my cousin, her daughter and my twin
sons were involved in a horrible car accident earlier today, and unbelievably, no one was seriously hurt. My son Eli had to get some stitches above his eyebrow, but that's about it. Michelle, phoned me on my cell and I raced over to the scene only to come upon their vehicle absolutely mangled and they had to use the jaws of life to get my sons out of the car. I thought I was going to lose them... I think I'm still in shock, but someone was watching over them because there were no broken bones, nothing. They mean so much to me, I don't know what I would have done had they been taken from me. Christine |

Sending you and the boys a HUGE hug! T |

I can scarcely imagine what you were going through during those minutes of not really knowing... ugh, you poor thing. Glad all is well. What type of vehicle were they in? Karen |

Almost 1 year ago, it hit me hard that cars can be fixed or replaced, loved ones cannot. Someone was DEFINITELY looking over you and your family. If the car was in bad enough shape to use the JOL to get your boys out, it's amazing that no one was seriously hurt! I can relate to you, in some distant ways. All I could think of after my accident was that less than half an hour later, Bran would have been in the car with me, and thinking about that just makes me sick to my stomach. |

All I could think of after my accident was that less than half an hour later, Bran would have been in the car with me, and thinking about that just makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah I was in still in shock when I wrote this initial post, because I could feel that I was detached from things around me, because I had to remain strong for them. The emergency crews didn't even know I was their mother because I was calm, cool and collected (I perform well under stress), not some blubbering, hysterical woman. But when I first came upon the scene my knees buckled and I thought they were mangled because of the shape the car was in. But the police officer there grabbed me by the arms and held me up and told me they needed me to remain calm etc, because they were so afraid. So something inside me switched on and it wasn't until the next morning that I cried... and cried and then in the shower, I cried some more. God, I could have lost them. So yeah, yesterday we were emotionally raw, today thankfully we are doing great. Christine |

"CME" wrote in message .. . But yeah, today we're going on some errands (Eli is quite concerned about how his stitches supposedly make him look ugly) *sigh* so we're going to take a small trip in my car and see how that goes. Christine Tell him it looks like a wound from back in 'Nam. (Well, that's something my dad would say, anyways) And also, going back in a car is definitely a good idea. I know that when my auntie, years and years ago, ran down this old guy crossing the street, she was so shaken up and refused to drive. She called my uncle to pick her up, and he made her drive them home, and although it was so hard for her to do it, she did it anyways, and she really believes that if she didn't get right back in that driver's seat, and waited and waited, she would never have driven again. After my accident, I was terrified to get into my dad's truck, let alone drive myself. I just kept seeing that same scene replay over and over in my mind, and every now and then, I still freak out while turning left or when oncoming cars are fairly close. It was almost exactly a month before I sat behind the wheel, and I only did because there was no possible way Wes could drive 2 cars at the same time (it was when we picked the car up from the shop and went to return the rental car) Even then, I was so scared, and told Wes to take the baby with him in the rental car, just because I was freaking out and thinking the same thing could happen again. He followed me, and said, although I'm normally a good leader when people follow, it was the worst leading I had ever done... I slammed on the breaks in the middle of the intersection as soon as the light turned yellow, slowed down when I thought the light was going to turn red, and would wait until there was a good 3 blocks of a break in traffic to turn. Eventually things got better, and everything is fine, and I do believe my auntie when she said that she wouldn't have driven again if she didn't get back in the driver's seat right after... Hell, I waited a month and I was freaking out so much, and driving all alone didn't make it much better. Get right back on the horse when you fall off, and it's the only way you'll be able to keep going... Same goes for cars. Hopefully everything goes well for you and both boys. I realize, really, there's not too much to fear on the road if you are cautious and careful. |
