Yesterday I felt guilty simply because I knew I was going to be waisting large chunks of the people I hit's time. Insurance claims, auto-repair shop estimates, rental car etc. I can't imagine how bad I'd feel if they were hurt at all. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Glad you were okay.

The place where I got in my accident at 16 is near my grandparents house. I take the same exit each time I go there and I am always reminded of it. It will never leave me.

It's amazing how quickly it all happens but also how long it seems to last while happening. Each revolution my car made seemed like forever or in slow motion.
