A group of us went out to dinner last night, we were in three separate cars.
Our friend driving the car in the lead missed the accident by a few minutes. We were in the second car, the accident happened in front of us. As we slowed down, we heard a loud crash, we could feel the vibrations in our bodies, the impact was that strong…right behind us cars piled up…accidents surrounded us! Amazingly, we were not hit!
At the same time, the third group of friends, in the car behind us… saw the wreck happen in front of them!
Our entire group of friends were either ahead, or between or after the accidents.
Though at that moment we didn’t know who had been hit or not. My husband instantly jumped out of the car to see if he could help. I thanked God we were safe, standing there I prayed for those around me…
The sobering reality of life and death, sadness, fear, words of comfort and concern, my eyes and heart searching the reality of the moment though it seemed like a movie being played before me, tears of pain and confusion heard…
In a matter of a few minutes, on a small section of the freeway life was altered, and we drove away in silence and naked awe.
