On October the 6th of last year, the hubs and I were in a really horrific accident.
I don't remember much, all I know is what people have told me.
We were driving straight through an intersection,
and a car, coming in the other direction, turned and "t-boned" us.
The impact caused our car to roll over several times across the intersection.
When the car finally stopped, it was upside down.
The accident was not our fault, the driver of the other car was issued 2 tickets.
I'm finally ready to show a picture of our car after the accident...
The airbags saved us.
I spent 4 days in the hospital for various reasons, nothing life threatening.
I felt terrible for the young girl who hit us, she was not injured, but her brand new Tesla was totaled.
Of course, our car was as well!
This is not meant to be a poor me post...I hope it does not upset anyone...
I was just ready to share the following message...
- in the blink of an eye it can all be taken away, be grateful always -

OMG, Debbie, it's a wonder you both weren't badly injured... or worse.
Hi Debbie, I got upset reading your post and seeing your car upside down. You are so right in moments like these you realise how lucky you were to be alive, and grateful for another chance at life. I'm so sorry you were hurt, but the trauma takes a long time to get over.
All the best Debbie.
Thank goodness for air bags. You are fortunate to come away from that crash without major injuries, Debbie. Life can change in a flash, so enjoy every minute.
It just shows you how life can change in a minute and you have to live every day to its fullest.
Oh my goodness Debbie.
Thank goodness for airbags.
Your last words in your post are so true.
All the best Jan
Oh dear, what a terrible accident and I can see why it took you quite a while to look at the photo of your car and to post it. What a blessing you two survived. Your new car looks sturdy and safe. I thank God through out the day for his protection and love, He saw you through it.
Hello Debbie,
The accident looks horrible. I am glad you were wearing seatbelts.
I am sorry you were hurt but have recovered and able to talk about the accident. The last quote is so true! Take care, have a happy weekend.
I remember when you told us you were in an accident and had a cast on but I had no idea it was this bad. That would indeed be dramatic. Your new car is beautiful.
Thank God this accident ended like this.
It looks terrible.
Hugs and greetings.
What a spectacularly dreadful ordeal! How absolutely incredible that, thank goodness, you survived to tell the tale. This truly is a reason for wearing seatbelts and airbags in cars. It's like getting a chance at a second life as well as that newer car. Wishing you nothing but health and joy going forward.
Oh no.. that is horrible. I had no idea. Relieved to hear you both were okay.
I had a car accident myself and I always remember the noise it made and I am grateful not having major injures.
I am glad the air bag saved you!
Wow it is amazing that you came out of it as well as you did, thank goodness for airbags, yes the quote is so true we need to take every minute and be thankful, and my friend I am so thankful you are still with us, Big Hugs!
Oh my lord Debbie -- thank God for the airbags. That looks absolutely frightening. Although I understand that newer cars these days are built to do exactly what yours did --- take the brunt of accidents while protecting the people in them the best way possible. A crumpled car, as you show, can be replaced. You have a wonderful attitude, showing empathy and caring for that young girl. And your final message is definitely one not to forget.
Oh, my dear friend, I am grateful you two are OK from this wreck. The photos are horrific, and I am so happy you survived. Unfortunately, I missed this due to not reading blogs, and I'm unhappy. You are often in my prayers when I know you are struggling, especially with a health concern.
I love your new car, and I love Lexus cars. We have a very old one, but it has been such a good car for us.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!
