death takes a swipe at me....but misses
So this entry is about what happened last week. I think Decemeber 27th was the date.
I almost died last week on 2-3 different ocassions over consecutive days. From what I see, my dad can at times be a hazard behing the wheel. My edit: *mom and I believe it's a vision thing. I notice this is different to how he drove in the summer. He didn't get us in what could have been fatal accidents during that time. I am the only member in my household that has NEVER been in a car accident, but I came close last week. Around the 27th, we were in the car and my dad was behind the wheel. I didn't notice anything wrong until I heard another car honking on a few seconds. The shattering honk of the other car brought me back to reality noticing what was around me, and took away from my conversation with my sister in the middle seat of the van. When I looked around, i noticed we were at a 4 way intersection with a car that was turning, and would have hit the van I was in if it did not hit the brakes on time. Turns out my dad said he saw a green light for him to go. I am not sure if he was seeing things, or it was green when he looked, but red when he got to the lights.
Another time last week was coming out of the music store parking lot. My dad was turning, but fortunately my mom paid attention to a vehicle that was coming around the corner. That corner is at the top of a hill, where the music store is. I guess coming out of the parking lot, it really is difficult to see cars coming up the hill, since it's on the other side of the hill if that makes sense.
To sum it up, I almost died last week more than once. I almost died. My family has been in an fatal accident before (when it wasn't their fault), and I was the only member that was absent at the time. I don't think I am missing much, and hope my first time in an accident is not anytime soon. Again, I almost died last week. This is an event that reminds me to value life, whatever of it that I have. I have a wish before I die, and Mike knows what it is, but it cannot be fulfilled if Mike continues to be stubborn about what's most important to me. Mike may say I'm only thinking about myself or something. He usually always has something to say whether it's a line, an excuse or a valid reason. Well Mike when you are reading this, I still need to know if that wish really has to be my final wish before I die, because I can think of more sentimental wishes but if you don't do this one important thing for me before it's too late...you may regret it if you truly care.
