I was halfway through writing this long melodramatic entry when I stopped and decided to delete it. This is why I try not to write entries when I'm upset, because I over-dramatize things. I can't help it

When something like that happens, you are perfectly entitled to be over-dramatic.
I was in college, having a fabulous (note the sarcasm) New Year's Eve watching movies with my then best friend, when around 1 am we got a call from the hospital where we used to live, about an hour and a half away. My sister and her friends, who had been driving home from a party, had been in an accident. My sister was unconscious from a head wound. She was out for almost a day. My dad drove down at 1 am so that someone could be at the hospital when she woke up, and my mom was just a wreck.
Thank god she was wearing her seatbelt.
I'm glad that your sister is okay. I'm always afraid that something is going to happen to someone in my family and I won't be able to get to them.
Us, too. It could have been a lot worse, because the guy who crashed into them had a BAC three times the legal limit. They were at a stop sign, and he tried to make a right turn around them.
Everyone's allowed to be overdramatic in a while. ;)
But seriously, I'm really sorry again that this happened, and that it's thrown you such a loop. *hugs* I know what you mean by still being shaken up even when they tell you everything is going to be fine. There's still that feeling of "they'd really be better if I was there".

Let me know if there's anything I can do. <33
