PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My Mom took Conner and me to an appointment this morning. On our journey to our next destination, we witnessed an accident. A male driver was flying on the highway to avoid a red light. He did not slow down or make any attempt to stop. Unfortunately, he ended up colliding with another vehicle. He then ended up hitting a pole, completely flipping his car, and losing various parts of his vehicle. The woman in the other car is physically fine. The gentleman ripped up his elbow pretty bad and appears as though he's going to need surgery. Had he not hit that pole and it been slightly different he would've hit my mom's vehicle. He would've hit my mom's side and that's the same side as Conner sits. Conner was rattled by this from seeing his version from his car seat, I was crying a lot, and my Mom was physically helping out. I saw that man spin out of control and yelled at her to call 911. She did that automatically anyway and did try to stop traffic to help out with the gentleman in the car. She also attempted to console the driver of the other vehicle. The way I see it is that God saved us from being hit by that driver. I also see if that maybe this is God's way of reaching out to the gentleman and trying to have him embrace his religion and begin his life anew. There must be some type of purpose for him to be here or he'd be dead. I also think this is God's way of showing us to slow it down, take precautions, lend that helping hand, and be thankful that it wasn't worse. Believe me, I am very thankful that it wasn't worse. I am glad that the gentleman is the only party injured, that no one died, and we can live to tell about it. I did pray for that gentleman while I sat in the car hoping everyone was all right. I do hope that he survives and takes this as opportunity to make some life alterations. I also hope that the woman will be able to mentally and emotionally deal with this unfortunate situation to the best of her ability. I will keep them in my prayers and I hope you will too.
