So my last blog brings me to this. When I crashed the first person I wanted was my mom. My brother was the first person to show up, and that hug from his is something I will never forget. It’s funny because it takes something terrible and life threatening to realize how thankful you are for your loved ones. When my mom showed up it was also very emotional. I had to take an ambulance to the hospital because my neck hurt a little and they wanted to make sure everything was okay. In the ambulance I could not stop crying. I wasn’t crying because I was hurt, I wasn’t crying because my car was ruined, I was crying because I realized how much that I care for the people in my life. I can’t tell you how many people told me, “a car is replaceable, you are not.” This also made me very upset to hear. It’s hard to imagine that if i wouldn’t have spun the way I did, and hit the truck, or the telephone pole head on that I might not be here.
I think we all need to take a look around and be grateful for all the people in our lives that would drop anything and be there in a minute when you are in danger. As scary as my experience was, I am so happy to have people in my life who truly care about me. Not only this, we also need to realize that any life can be cut short at any second, and as scary as that is it is reality. We need to live and be happy because there is only such a short amount of time. I am thankful to be here today. I have a new appreciation for life. I understand I didn’t get any life threatening injuries, but if my car would have hit something head on it would be a different story.
So please, remember to be thankful and appreciative of your loved ones, because when it comes down to it, they will do anything for you.
