Someone was watching over me
Right now I am sooo thankful that I am even here typing this.
I swear I almost died this last Friday night. I was leaving for the coast with Dean (that's not the point -- we aren't living together) and daughter. We left late Friday night after I got off work around 10pm. I told him to drive because I was tired so we began our drive down this two lane hiway out in the boonies and at about 1230 that night, we slammed into a horse going about 55 mph; which was the posted speed limit by the way. I don't remember a whole lot as the the horse landed on the passenger side of the car and crushed the roof down close to my head. Glass from the windshield shattered everywhere and I was covered in blood when the car stopped. I know the worst thing to do is panic but there was so much debris and smoke that I couldn't tell if the car was on fire and I just started screaming "Get Kayla out of the car right now!" I was so glad she was crying that is how I knew she was ok. As I was getting out the driver's side door, I just saw people running over, I didn't know who they were and I was confused and they kept asking me if I was ok and I said "I don't know." They told me to sit down but all I kept hearing is people saying "God, she's lucky." So then I called Dean over there to take me to look at the car, cause I wanted to see what they were talking about; and I couldn't believe it. The whole passenger side was almost all the way crushed in! So when I get to the hospital that is all I could think about; that picture of my car and wondering how I didn't die. I checked out pretty well though, no major injuries. Just cuts from the windshield and bruises from the seatbelt and a nice big bump on my head. My daughter checked out fine and so did Dean. By the way there was no alcohol involved. It was just a lonely two way hiway with no lights and a horse that wandered out of his stable which by the way the deputy told us that there is a no grazing law in Oregon which makes the owner of the horse responsible for the accident -- thank goodness.
Just happy to be alive.
