That is just horrible. Thankfully your son didn't see anything. Bless his heart that he was so concerned for the man. I'm so crazy about seatbelts. My kids know I won't move the car until I hear the clicks. I have to work on my dh, however.
This is nothing near what happened to you, but my daughter and I about 2 years ago were going to get up do's for a wedding we were in. So, I decided to stop and get bagels and coffee for the bride and bridesmaids at Paneras. Just as I was finishing my order a van crashed through the window. The van was about a foot away from me. Needless, to say I was anything but calm AND I couldn't find my daughter. I was screaming, "Where's my baby!" It was mass chaos, of course. i finally turned around and saw a man holding her! She must have been standing near the hot coffees that had all gotten knocked over, and he scooped her up! I ran over and hugged him as my knees were trembling.
I never went for counseling, but maybe I should have. Everytime there's a loud crash me and my daughter jump. It has gotten better though.
Dana, I would defnitely go and talk to someone.
Thanks for sharing. It just reminds us that we should count our blessings every day.
