I don't really remember the specifics, but I was supposed to go do errands with my dad this one late afternoon. Before I could hop in the car with my him though, my mom said something and made me stay. Later that night, my dad hadn't returned home yet. Suddenly we got a call from the hospital saying that he was in an accident. My mom was so worried like she didn't know what to do. I was around 6 years old at the time and I had 2 little sisters who were still a baby and an infant. She rushed to the hospital taking us all with her, there were some kind people that felt sorry for us and assisted us. Everything was a blur so I don't remember much else. But my dad ended up okay in the end, thankfully.
We went to check out the car some time later. My dad drove an old red mazda with only one passenger seat. The side he was hit on was the passenger side, which was completely totaled. Needless to say, if I had gone in the car with him that day, I would have been killed. Scary to think about, unknowingly escaping death like that. It's like it failed to get me when I was born, waited some years and tried again. Makes me think of how fleeting and random life can be. You can just easily lose your life without even knowing what happened or having done anything really.

That's quite a story, Nayre! The fact that anyone could die on any given day due to random causes is a scary thought, but it's also a good reminder for us all not to take our lives for granted and to make the most of what time we have. Thanks for sharing!

I called her Sarah and she had this cute red ribbon tied around her neck like a little scarf. I still have her actually, kept in a safe place. She's one of my precious childhood possessions.
Haha! We had a mountain of stuffed toys back in the day too. Me and one of my little sis named every single one and gave each of them personalities (lol we even gave each of them special attacks for those times we played "Toy Wars" where we pit them all against each other tournament style) and we had them all role-play in different stories. My main was my bear, Sarah, and would always have her as one of the main protagonists.

I'm glad to know I'm not alone. XD
My little sister and I used to the same thing. We still have all those stuffed animals and will probably keep playing with them our whole lives just because it's so nostalgic and really brings back your childhood. Ah~, fond memories.

Seconded.
It must have freaked you out to have to remember that. I'm so glad your dad made it out alright, and I'm glad you made it through too!
