I know on last week I had a story about friendship and a few days ago I recieved an email from a friend that I went through a great with. Well even though I am only 27 I have endured a lot in my life. When I was 15 years old I was involved in a car accident where I almost lost my life. Myself and four other friends (which I use that word loosely) left campus during the lunch hour, even though all but one was suppose too. Needless to say we got about mile and half away from the school and was broadsided (as I was told, have no recollection of that day) and that was when my life as I knew it would never be the same. And pickup truck Ford F150 collided with the car I was a passenger in on my side. I sustained life threatening injuries and was in a coma for a month. By the grace of GOD and prayers by many I pulled through but I can not say the same about the friendship that girls in the car included myself where able to hold on too. There was only one other girl who was critically injured along with me and she is the one who sent me an email a few days ago. I have not spoken or seen her in a little over 9 years. WOW you say I think the same thing. You would think that after all we had to endure together that it would make us thicker than glue but it seems to be the complete opposite with all of us. She opened up too me in the email and she said that she had avoided me for all these years because of the fact that when she looks at me all she see's or think that we have in common is the accident. She also said that she had been dealing with a lot lately and was in an emotional battle. She extended an invitation for me to accompany her this Friday to an therapy session, which she said had been helping her a lot. I think I may just go, it brought up a lot of feeling that I have suppressed for so long that have never been talked about. I am not sure how I feel about her saying that all we have in common is the accident but everyone is entitled to there own opinion and hey this could give us the opportunity to get out those feelings.
Hmmmmmm...time will tell.
Hi Kristen,
ReplyDeleteSo do the injuries you sustained in the accident cause your migraines. This is indeed interesting that this individual who was in the accident with you is just now contacting you. Perhaps a visit to the therapy session with her would help. It must be important to her. My guess is that it might be cathartic to examine some of your feelings with someone else who was involved. Good luck.
