Written for RDP, where drkottaway asks us
to get creative with the words ‘accident’.
Thanks, Doc! Here’s my take.
My photo
Everyone in the course of a lifetime will have an accident.
Some are simple “oopsies” while others can be life-ending.
We were beyond fortunate to survive our rollover in 2021.
It was the scariest and most surreal event in our lives.
The photo above says more than I can.

You were both incredibly lucky to get out of that alive, and to find someone like Yosef in your hour of need.

That’s a definite, Clive. Two days later I was at church thinking I was back to normal but all my friends said I looked like I was strung out. Must have been the shock/adrenaline I wasn’t even aware of.

You couldn’t possibly come through something like that without after effects. I’m not surprised they thought that. But it’s great to know you’re still with us!

I get goosebumps when I look at it now, Brenda. That was a part of our lives that we would like to forget, but that’s not possible. At least I will also remember Yosef and what an angel he was. Thanks for your comments.

I am such an impatient person and don’t usually go with long reads, but I read this. Nancy, that you not only made it out alive, but walked away is a miracle. I have never been in a rollover, but if ever, I hope I have a Yosef to help me.

People laugh when I tell them I believe Yosef was an angel. I don’t know how my husband and I would have managed without him. Safe driving, Lois.
