Flashback...
A little under a year. Seems like a lifetime ago now! That fateful day. The day I survived.
Ever wondered how it feels when people tell you that its a miracle that you're still alive? Trust me... it sends shivers down your spine!
50 mph is a decent enough speed to ram into a tree, and I'm not saying the fact that a yard before or after that spot and the consequences could have been much graver!
Shattered and with shivering legs, I try and inspect the damage to the car. Get in it. Close my eyes. Hear a loud crash as the car bumper hits the bark of the tree. I manage to gain control only enough to prevent further damage. The car starts skidding on the highway. The steering wheel turns free. I bump into a nasty pothole (or is that too small a word for it?). The silly motorcyclist getting up on the highway without looking left or right. The smooth drive... The lovely weather... The aweosme breakfast!
My car... my best friend! I don't think I coud ever sell this one off! The fact that it had to undergo surgery for almost a month speaks epitomes about the gravity of the situation!
But even thinkning about it now as i write, it does make my legs wobbly. Maybe that is the reason I now cherish each moment even more so than I used to.
Peace!
