My sister and I are very, very close. Even though we live in different countries, she's my right arm and I love her so much. We had a hard time in our childhood but since we recovered from that our relationship has been stronger than ever and we are best friends.
Today she told me she had been in a terrible car accident. Head on collision, both cars totalled. It was a Ford Explorer that came at them and hit my sister and her best friend. The other car was ticketed for reckless driving-all parties escaped with no more than cuts. My sister said she thought she was going to die. I almost lost my brother in a car accident several years ago when he was sideswiped by a Ford pickup going about 60 mph driving his tiny Honda Civic. This just makes me so ill. Car accidents are so terrifying. I had a near miss myself, as many of us do, and I know what a nightmare it can be. Lives can be destroyed so quickly by cars, which are a weapon if not used by people who are sober and know what they are doing.
My poor sister has 7 exams to go this week (she is a college student) and I feel terrible for her. This was not good timing. I hate being so far away from her!
