Ok this like many other things will probably just get lost and nuked by so many... but for me 2014 was a rollercoaster. while good things like me finally paying off a long time credit card balance and seeing the light on my car loan were very positive... i also had lost two women i was very close to as a child... my grandmothers. It wouldn't be so bad them passing away... considering that they both were in poor health and it gives me some comfort to know they aren't suffering. Just the timing left me with a 'what is the chance of this happening' moment. the morning of my birthday i got out of work (i work the night shift) and was ready to see the barrage of 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' text messages... as i paged through them one was out of place. one from my mother... FAR too late at night for her. It was then that i found out my grandmother had passed away. a similar situation happened around christmas... my other grandmother passed at an hour after midnight the day after christmas. i hadn't even gotten to bed when i found out. a few days later... my own life was nearly taken when a drunk driver drove on to a highway... into oncoming traffic's lane. I may not know how long he was there, but i know that he couldn't have just jumped the middle line. guard rails and concrete barriers made that difficult... but this lights were pointed right at me. how we missed each other i have no idea... i just closed my eyes, mumbled 'jesus' and white knuckled it waiting for the sound of busting glass, crunching metal and sickening body being mangled sounds. nothing... not a sound. i opened my eyes to see his tail lights in my rear view. I'm glad to be alive... but i still miss my grandparents. to anyone who feels that they have all the time in the world, take my advice and live each moment like it's your last. you never know when you will see those headlights coming for you and you won't have a moment for regrets.
