First Car Accident

November 12, 2009 was the day that I could not forget even if I wanted to. It was the day that my hubby and I wrecked our car when we were on our way to Colorado for my younger sister’s wedding. It was also the first car accident that I had ever experienced. I also experienced a ship wrecked back when I was still in the Philippines when my hubby and I were on our way home from our honeymoon.

Fasten Your Seat Belt

The car accident was very scary and shocking. I thought that I would die. If I did not have my seat belt on I would probably have gotten injured. We were on a six-lane freeway minding our own business when a truck cut us off and forced us into a lane where another truck had dropped a large wooden pallet in the middle of the road. As a result, my hubby lost control of the car and hit the concrete guard rail.

Fortunately, we suffered only minor bumps and bruises. We ended up renting a car to continue our road trip. Even though the accident cost us a lot of money, I am still thankful that we didn’t get seriously injured.

Got Traumatized

Before our car accident, I always wanted to travel. Since then, I don’t like to travel anymore. Even going to town for grocery shopping worries me. I have become somewhat of a home body as a result. That is very opposite of what I used to be. It seems like someone has flipped my traveling switch off. Now my hubby has to drag me out just to go grocery shopping. I am still scared and even though I have been behind the wheel a couple of times since then, I still feel nervous and not at all at ease. What am I going to do? It is too cold to walk. I can’t spend all my time at home because it’s lonely and boring. I hope that I am strong enough to overcome my fears. I think I am getting there after almost four years.
