Any accident, whether it happened yesterday or 5 years ago, will really leave a mark on our minds. Sorry to hear you had to go through such traumatic experience, but I'm glad everyone in the family is okay.
Just last week I had a motorcycle accident after being chased by a dog. Nothing major, but I had a blunt force trauma in my abdomen, a bleeding cut on my legs and some bruises. I turned out fine, but when I was able enough to drive the motorcycle again a few days later, the trauma is still there. It sucks big time.
Whenever I drive, I can't concentrate on the road that much because I'm always on the lookout for dog chasing surprises. Still happy that I'm fine now, and that I've learned from the experience.
Thanks for sharing your story!
