I was hit by a car last December, coming out of a store. The car driver lost control of his car, and it went up over the curb and into my leg. Thankfully it didn't break; I was just very bruised, sore and shocked. A woman who saw it happen sat down with me and stayed with me the whole time I was waiting for the ambulance to come. She was incredibly comforting. Turns out, she's a caretaker by profession. She called me the next day at work to see how I was, and I begged her for her address. I sent her a Christmas card last year, and fully intend to send one every year until the cows come home. A small act of kindness like that isn't small to the recipient at all. And, in a world where so many scary, unexpected things can happen, it's comforting to know you can count on strangers to hold your hand and let you know you're not alone. God bless you!

I was in a freak car accident about a year ago...

I was driving down the street, and I saw a truck drive another car off the side of the road, so I pulled over to use my cell phone and call the police. A few seconds later, the truck turned around and hit three cars at a stop light, and then turned again and hit me while I was parked. I had a huge emotional outburst, but somehow managed to resist the urge to kick his ass. Later I found out that he had a suspended license and no car insurance or registration. Suprise, suprise.

I'm really sorry that happened to you! I hope you're okay!
