What A Day
So, no updates for a while. But after today I need one. I've traveled quite a distance from when I woke up at 5:30 this morning.
First off, I love you all. Its something I really don't say to my friends and family enough. I try to not be a hugely emotional person. Hell I used to be afraid to say those words because I feared rejection. When I say them I don't want them to be empty.
My girlfriend Alyssa was involved in a pretty bad car accident today. She rolled her Mustang off Lewis Rd. in Camarillo. The car is totalled. Thankfully she walked away from it with just a few cuts and bruises. Her mom called me while I was at school this morning, and as soon as I got the message I was on my way to Camarillo.
On the way there I feared the worst. Every possible negative side effect or injury I could think of I assumed had happened to her. I don't think I have ever been so happy as when I saw her face today. Seeing for myself that she was ok was definately much better than just hearing it.
After she got out of the hospital we went to get some stuff out of her car. When I saw it, I almost cried. I was amazed that she had come out of it so well. If I had just seen the car I would have assumed much worse. I don't know whether I should credit this to luck, God, or Ford's engineers. Whoever or whatever it was, thank you for keeping Alyssa safe.
When I grew up, my mom always said to never let someone leave when you're mad at them, or without letting them know that you care about them, because you dont REALLY know if/when you'll see them again. Today I saw how truely important that is. Always let your friends and family know you love them, because you never know what could happen while driving to work.
