Not everything ends badly, but it's hard not to play the 'what if' game

Mom was in a car accident tonight, on the way home from her friend's house.

She's okay, just really freaked out. Some lady, who was lost, ran a stop sign and smashed into the rear of my mom's car, spinning her around in a 180.

Mom thought she was going to die. She was a mess when she called us, but she's better now. I have made her sit down with tea and a heating patch on her neck (she has had serious neck problems in the past and I bet she got some kind of neck muscle stress during the whole thing), but.

I still worry.

But it could have been really bad. So.

*breathes*

I just wanted to share.

Oh, I've had that happen. I thought for sure I was going to die too.

...and then I got out of my '84 Celica, realized it's steel body was barely dinged, and the little fiberglass cars were smashed to shit, and I was fine.



Still, a lot of what-ifs got asked, and my boyfriend nearly died upon hearing it.

Yeeeeah. Steel body = best ever.

Because. Yeah.
