Surreal…

Streaking red lights filled my vision, time slowed, I remember letting out a little scream and then we were spinning into the ditch and I managed to stop the car. It really did feel like we’d been spinning for a few minutes when in reality only a few seconds had passed. My hands were still on the steering wheel and I think I had both feet on the brake pedal. The first words out of Chris were ‘honey, you handled that so well!’, then I broke down and started sobbing and I asked for the puppy – poor Gizmo was just shaking, I held him and cried and tried to calm both of us down while Chris checked the car – there was only a little damage to the back panel and a little bit on the door, tires were fine. We called the RCMP and reported the accident. The Semi didn’t stop, and no one else stopped either…

We were so very lucky that there were no injuries and that our car was driveable… it could have gone so badly… But when I think about how many almost accidents I’ve had in the last couple of days I think it was in the plan for me to be in an accident – now hopefully I won’t have too many more!
