Home in One Piece
Well we returned from our trip to So. Calif in the nick of time. The weather has been crazy and the drive out of CA left my nerves frazzled. We left early in the morning before the strongest part of the storm was to hit, taking it slow on the freeway. (As slow as possible in So Cal.)
I knew we were in for it when not ten minutes had passed and I saw a car spin out, hit a semi in the next lane and jump up in the air. (I was driving and Brian was in the back seat with Bella.) Brian noticed that I slowed down and he looked up to see flashing lights. He thought it was thunder and lightening. Actually it was the headlights of the flying car. My mind raced as I worried about the driver and our own safety if we became a part of the accident. Then the car twisted in the air a few times until it landed upright at the side of the road. I was going to stop but a number or truckers and other cars stopped to help the driver. We passed the car and saw inside a woman. She was looking down but I couldn't tell if she was knocked out or reaching for something.
We pulled out the rosary and prayed for her and the safety of all the other drivers on the road. Later the radio announced that it was an injury accident and we were just thankful that she had on her seatbelt and hadn't died. We continued our route listening to the traffic news hearing of numerous accidents that took place just after we passed the cities. Thank God for getting us home safely!
