Then on May 3rd I had a terrible car accident in which I miraculously was unscathed but the other person involved died at the hospital. It was a horrible experience and I thank the Lord that the memory of that day is fading.
Although the car is drivable the cost to repair the frame and add two new doors is too costly for me so I had to buy another used car that seems so far to be running well (fingers crossed)!
I had always prided myself on my spotless driving record so being involved in a collision that resulted in a death kept me awake nights trying to reconstruct what had happened and was there any way I could have avoided the accident. But like so many things in life no matter how many times I questioned my memory I could not find any answers.
I hope life has been quieter for all of you?
I would be remiss if I didn't mention 2 ladies who lifted me from this dark place.

Ooh dear Tina, I am saddened to read of both of these events, and the heartache it has caused you.
ReplyDeleteLittle Pumpkin was so sweet, I know only too well, how it leaves an empty spot in your heart.
It was tragic that the other driver passed away in the wreck, how horrendous for you. I hope that as the days pass, those memories will be easier to cope with.
Hugs to you,

Tina, i am so glad you weren't injured in the accident, and sad that the other driver passed away.It must have been an awful time for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is heart-breaking when a beloved furry family member leaves us, but I'm sure your sweet Pumpkin had a happy life with you. Hugs and blessings
