Yesterday was a bad day...but to look back on it; it was a good day...because it could have been so much worse.
JD left yesterday morning to go work out about 615am. He headed down the mountain that my dad lives on and the fog was thick. The road that leads down is very curvy and even on a good day you have to watch what you are doing. About 5 minutes after he left the power went out at my dads and I called JD to a) make sure he was okay and b) see how wide spread the outage was. Well, when I called he didn't answer. As JD was coming around the first sharp curve in the fog he saw a deer standing in the middle of the road. He ended up crashing through an electrical pole (snapped it in half) and then flipping over a large rock into a tree where his car finally came to rest. The entire car seemed to be crushed or ripped off except for the driver area...that one small bubble was in tact. You have no idea how that made me feel when I finally saw the car. If things had been even a few inches off it could have been so different. Each paramedic, police, and fireman that came to the scene was amazed that he came out of that.
Ironically, not 10 minutes before JD's accident a gentlemen named Jerry had a similar accident (not so violent though). He was there to talk JD out of the car and keep him company until my dad and I got there.
Yesterday was a scary day..even now I get a pit in my stomach thinking about how bad it could have been. So, for the next few weeks he's going to have to deal with me loving all over him...he scared me yesterday and I just want to sit and look at him...so thankful he's okay.
