It will never be exactly the same but I remember when I learnt to drive that I could not believe that it didn't require concentration on every single moment to get it right. Then one day you panic because you cannot remember a little bit of the journey. Your brain will take over and it will happen.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944155516559194389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-31375672164012537712011-01-30T13:15:48.653+00:002011-01-30T13:15:48.653+00:00Alexia - I alternate between the two depending on ...Alexia - I alternate between the two depending on how mellow I'm feeling. Accident makes it sound like "oops!" whereas crash is factual and suggests nothing about fault or reason. The police here have changed their road signs (asking for witnesses) from saying 'Accident' to 'Crash'. The power of vocabulary.<br /><br />JxJuniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930937754917509956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-59046491085534342862011-01-30T03:44:34.420+00:002011-01-30T03:44:34.420+00:00Even in the short time I've been following you...Even in the short time I've been following your posts, I can see what great progress you've made - but I can well understand that going through all the inquest/inquiry stuff will be bringing things back. <br />Thanks heaps for the comment you left on my post - it helped a great deal. I wasn't up to writing in detail about the crash (I refuse to call it an "accident").

I had enough time to appreciate the humour as I approched the AA van. What shook me the most was the fact there was nothing I could do. I never drove down that hill when the weather was bad again I would go through the village.Chibi Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926104090767233916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569538505653694942.post-63284538219560959942011-01-29T17:14:08.593+00:002011-01-29T17:14:08.593+00:00No an alien sensation has not taken over my body! ...No an alien sensation has not taken over my body!

About seven years ago, my oldest daughter was driving her two children on a quiet road near her home, when a 17 year old girl, driving two weeks, hit them head on. The air bags activated and their lives were spared. One of the kids was hurt, but my daughter was hurt pretty badly. She had to give up a terrific job, had two surgeries, and underwent two years of physical therapy.<br /><br />The young girl who struck them giggled at the scene. She told the police, "It's not like they're dead or nothin'." She told the authorities she let go of the wheel and covered her face because she saw a spider on her rear view mirror.<br /><br />The day after the accident, I began to build an online business for my daughter. I figured with her injuries she could not hold on to her position. My wife and I made arrangements to take care of our grandchildren since my son-in-law had to keep working to hold on to their house. I almost lost my family in one fell swoop, and I think that is more than any human being should be forced to bear.<br /><br />However, I have not experienced a single day of unhappiness since the accident. My kids are alive and well and I am thankful. They have recovered and are happy. I love them. <br /><br />My daughter went through all the stages I have witnessed in your writing since following your blog. I hope I have never expressed a negative thought. When I have expressed how much I admire your handling of the journey through this nightmare, I was serious. I do not see you as a victim of someone's randomness. I see you as an inspiration to others.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692103477055483000noreply@blogger.com
