I could have lost my mom this morning.
She fell asleep at the wheel on her way from from work at 4:30 this morning and drove my dad's truck through a wrought iron fence and into a pile of concrete blocks. She came out with a gash on her arm that required stitches, and the front end of the truck is pretty smashed. If she had hit the concrete at a slightly different angle, she could have been much worse. My dad told me when I got to my parents' house this afternoon, and she's sleeping now.
Christmas would have been so different without her.
