Chaos
I've been really shaken lately from all that's happened. I found out Saturday night that my dad was in a terrible car accident in Hong Kong on his way to China. He was in the back seat of a mini-van, and they slammed into a truck at 60 mph on the highway. After going to the hosipal in Hong Kong, he flew back to America to be admitted here. He's been released, and nothing's broken, thank God, however, he has a lot of sprains and bruises. He almost didn't buckle his seatbelt because he was having trouble with it, and he was in the backseat, but he persisted... and if it wasn't for that seatbelt, he would have died. Everyone in the accident was ok, but the car was completely totaled. It's not just the physical injuries that are upsetting, but the fact that my dad is so emotionally shaken. I've never seen him so emotional... or emotionless... I'm really not sure. He also told me yesterday that he's leaving his job because of the accident. He said he can't take it - the travelling, the stress... everything. It's so sudden. It's amazing how a few moments can completely change the course of your life.
I need to stay strong though... prom's tomorrow... I need to be ok.
