and her brand new 2005 Toyota Corolla
on the first day she ever drove it.
It wasn't her first car,
but it was her first NEW car and she was excited
even though she doesn't look it in this photo.
Fast forward about 4 years. This is a picture of what this same car looked like today, the last time she drove it.
This morning she was involved in a car accident on the way to work. There was a chain reaction 4 car crash when the front vehicle decided to make a u-turn and didn't quite manage to get out of the way fast enough. The speed limit on the road she was on is 65 and she apparently hit pretty hard even though she tried to swerve and slow down. She says she is fine. She is sore in the areas where the seatbelt hit, but it definitely could have been so much worse. These kind of experiences always make me stop and realize how fragile life really is and how quickly things can change. Luckily this time all that really got hurt was her car.
Today I am grateful for
Seatbelts, and a daughter that uses hers.
a son-in-law who gets called in an emergency instead of me.
Cell phones with cameras.
