A Glimpse
Today, as we were heading to church, we drove along Crow Canyon and approached a line of cars that were stopped. We initially thought that the first car was trying to make a left. But they didn’t move. Finally, the first car started moving and we noticed a CHP standing on the side. As we moved along slowly, the scene became more and more visible. It was a car accident. Not far from where I got into my accident. CHP was directing traffic on both sides. We passed a car facing oncoming traffic that was in pretty bad shape and saw another car on the other side of the road. I looked at H and asked, “Was it like this for me?” H didn’t answer. We didn’t see any ambulances, but assumed that they had already left the scene. As some of you know, I have no idea what my accident was like. I was unconscious and have no memory of the moments leading up to my accident, the accident, or the moments after the accident. But seeing this was like seeing a glimpse of how my accident was like. And suddenly I was flooded with emotions thinking about my accident. It was like I was warped back to June 24th, seeing myself there, and warped back to October 10th, seeing the accident as an observer. I can’t fully explain what I felt but all I knew was I was crying. Because I remember how blessed I am to be alive. How grateful and thankful to God for sparing my life. How appreciative for family and friends who have supported me, encouraged me, and prayed for me. I hope and pray the people in the accident are ok.

Thanks for sharing Winnie! It is always humbling to see a wreck but especially so in your case! We are so glad that God spared you and has healed your body!
That stretch of road sure is dangerous! I too am continually thankful that you came out of the accident whole and healthy--that was one of the scariest, most dreadful nights--when we found out you were at the hospital.
