Jude and I almost died yesterday! I was following a cement truck on State Route 48, which is a 2 lane road. It stopped on the road so it could back into a driveway. I stopped for it and was waiting for it to back in. Next thing I know, a semi is flying past my car with it's brakes locked up trying to stop. I am guessing it did not realize we were stopped until it was too late. It swerved into the other lane to avoid colliding with my van when it realize it could not stop in time. When the semi finally did finally stop completely, the cab of the semi was past the front of my mini van!!!!! I was almost crushed between a semi and a cement truck!! I had Jude in the van with me too!! (Julia was with Jerry and Debbie) I just thank the stars that there was not anyone coming in the other lane and the semi driver had the quick thinking to swerve into that lane!! There is no way we would have survived a crash like that. When it first happened I just thought "Wow that could have been bad". But as time went on, I realized just how close Jude and I came to dying!! Someone was looking over us, that is for sure! Jerrod got pretty shook up too when I told him what happened. I was pretty upset about it that I ended up having nightmares most of the night!
This just makes me realize that no matter how bad things get, it could always be worse!
