“Oh God, don’t let him…….
I was in a terrible car accident that almost killed me.
We need our cars and use them daily, but we never quite forget that the large machines we handle so casually are capable of taking life.
I was hit from the driver side that caused me to spin and collided with wall.
"Oh God, don’t let him slam my car." there was a loud bang, sound like bending or breaking metal. I knew I couldn’t do anything. I wasn’t able to move. Well I was stuck.Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye.speeding,speeding,speeding. Seconds later, BOOOOOM! A car hits me from driver side speeding at 80 mph in 20 mph zone. exceeding the posted speed limit.
For a moment….just a moment….I asked if I was dead, and honestly, I was waiting for people to step through to greet me. Those expectations didn’t last long as the answer fell into my mind.I was told that I am lucky. I am actually more than lucky.The memory of a car accident returns in slow motion with an astonishing list of details that gets freeze-framed,slow motion from beginning to end over end over end.I was aware of everything all at once.Now I could see cars stopped outside and people from across the street were staring. That’s what people do. They stare.not to mention the pain from injury to my right arm spine and neck.
I was released from the car by firefighters and police,
While the ambulance rushed me to the hospital, people in the other car were being aided.The driverin the other car who had no driving permit was fine but he hurt his friends (almost killed them too) in the crash. I was the only one who was hurt very badly.
As the dust settles I found out later that the car that hit me was not even insured and driven by a driver who was out for fun.Yap for fun
involved in speeding fun Arrgggg .Thank God nobody was killed.I still have deep lasting dark moods and I let them pass without resistance. I also have brighter moments as the seasons change. But getting better is now my main work, everything else will have to wait until I am strong enough to deal with it.
God could have taken me, and he didn’t. I am grateful to be here. Every day is now a gift to me. I just want my life back. one step at a time
….. Someday, somewhere, somehow- I will get there!!
Sounds like a nightmare - how glad I am that your okay and here with us!
Btw: Thanks for the visit and comment. Glad you found you wasn’t on a wrong blog after reading it all

akhi zintgtrial, I am shocked when I read your entry. I am sorry to know what had happened to you. In my opinion, lucky is not the reason that you are safe now, but its one of Allah plan, to make you as a survivor and tougher than before. Thanks for keep coming to my blog, I really appreciate that.
I believe Allah’s test is to make us stronger, now you are one of strong person, that survived from terrible crash.
