atsirk: {{squeeze}} March 15th, 1996 I was hit by a semi, slammed into a guard rail overlooking a ravine, pushed 150 feet and "let go" spinning facing head-on into on coming traffic. Just me and DS#1 who was 19 months old at the time. We were driving to back to our home in 1 state to meet the movers who were moving us to state 2. By grace of God and our sweaty Guardian Angels we were ok. bumped and bruised, but ok.
Oddly enough the car I was facing when I stopped (staring into the passengers face) had a cell phone. You know, the old big as a loaf of bread type. I was able to call my DH, who was 5 hours away leaving work...they stopped him at the gate of the plant as he left. IF I hadn't called exactly when I did, he'd have driven right by me 5.5 hours later. (He had work meetings and was coming to the old house also, but heading back to work on Sunday - I however was staying until Wednesday)
I waited for him for just about 5 hours in a truck stop. He made me drive the 3 hours from there it our house. It was years before I could pass a semi. I also had to make the 8 hour drive to the new house all by myself, well, except for the little guy. lol
You've been given a second chance. Grab it. Don't focus on the drive, focus on the company!
hahahaha
