Last Monday, I was riding in the car with a couple of friends of mine when we ended up stuck in traffic. As we inched along the highway we realized that there was an accident in front of us. When we finally got close enough to see what was going on, my friend pointed out two. One was laying in the road, and the other was in the grass beside the road. That was the first time I had ever seen a dead body, and I have to say, I was pretty shaken up. I am so thankful that by the time we saw them, they were covered up. I don't know if I could have handled seeing them uncovered.
I think the thing that bothered me most was that they were just laying there, and all the medical people and police were just walking around. If that was a member of my family, I would want someone to sit with them. I couldn't handle thinking about them laying there alone, even though they were dead. Does that make sense?
I thank God every night that my kids and I make it safely through every day. I know accidents happen,and I worry that if something happened to me or one of the kids that I wouldn't be able to pay the medical bills. The kids do have medicaid, but I have no health insurance at all. I would probably end up having to find a Florida personal injury attorney or someone local to help me get some kind of compensation, especially if the accident wasn't my fault. If it was my fault, well, I would be in big trouble. I guess it's a good thing that I am a very careful driver. I just wish that all drivers were as careful as I am.
