Just thought about something that may have more flustered than usual. My son just graduated from the same school I did 22 years ago this coming Saturday and 22 years ago today, I got a phone call at work (from at the time) my boyfriends (my husband) mother, saying that he had been in a really serious car accident and was hit head on after his tire blew out on the highway. She said he wasn't doing very good and I might want to get to the hospital. It turned out that he is one of those rare cases of not wearing his seatbelt and THAT ACTUALLY saved his life. They said, that due to the damage that was done to the driver's side if the car, if he had been wearing a seatbelt, he probably would have died on the spot, or if he'd lived he would have have had serious life altering injuries.

He ended up with bruised kidney's and a mild to moderate concussion and other bumps and bruises, but he was released later that day....

I have never forgotten how close I came to losing him before we had ever had our life together....

This year is the first time I have really focused on it's significance in quite a few years and I think it has now come to me that I wouldn't have celebrated my son's graduation last weekend, if I had lost my dear hubby that day....

Maybe that is my most recent trigger for my irrational behavior!!!???!!!???
