Thanksgiving Has A New Meaning

This is going to be one of my most serious postings yet. Last night I went through one of the most scariest moments of my life and that is being side-whiped (t-boned) by a taxi van that was flying down a road and I did not have time to get out of the way, so I got hit on the driver's side of my car. When I got hit, my foot came off the peddle and I ram into the side of a house. So I guess I would say I am very lucky to be sitting here right now typing away an other posting and without a scratch on me. However, I am a little sore from it all and never slept very much because the image of a van coming towards me haunted me throughout the night. Tiffany was also in the car with me and I never seen her more scared in my life, and I think that was the hardest part for me because she means so much to me and I never want to see her harmed in any way. So this whole experienced is an eye-opener for me and I am really appreciating life right now and you can't imagine the scare I got last night.

After the accident, Tiffany and I went to the hospital just to get a check up done and nothing was bad with us, except for the stiffness ofcourse. Then we came back to my place and just talked things through, she slept because she was beat and I tried my best, but never did a very good job of it (about 2 hours). I was really shaken up from the whole experience, so I decided to take a day off work, it was the first time I called in sick this year, but it was well needed for me. This morning, I also re-visited my accident area and measured the skid marks and put some of my physics background into good use and found out he was going past the speed limit, I don't need a specialist to tell me that and had pictures proving that he wasn't even on the right side of the road. I am not sure what I am doing with this information yet, but we'll have to wait and see. It was hard to see what happened, but good being able to walk up there and see it. Just happy to be alive really. So I spent majority of the day with my Tiffany and it was great to have each other through this rough time. Did I mention I love her? Probably in all my other postings, but it's true and I will never deny it. This whole things just proves we can get through anything, if we have each other. I felt bad putting her through it, but she keeps telling me it is not my fault. I am so lucky to have her and even more as time goes by. So Tiffany, I know you will be reading this and I just wanted to let you know, that I love you more than anything and appreciate everything you do for me, even if it is little, it will always mean a lot.

So there is one more person I have to mention in this posting because I think she felt in fault for the whole thing and her name is Lee-Ann. See we were on our way to her friend's party when the whole thing happened, but Lee-Ann, it is not your fault and the main thing is that Tiffany and I are ok and we'll all go out again sometime soon. And Lee-Ann, I am mentally ok, as much as I could be because I was never fully mentally right and I am sure many would agree there. You're a great friend and never change.

So this Thanksgiving has a total new meaning for me, thanks for being alive, thanks for having Tiffany and family in my life, thanks for having my family as well, and thanks for all those friends of mine that sent thier concerns and thoughts to Tiffany and I.

Peace Out, Corey J. Curl
