Three years ago this past Thursday night I single-handedly totaled my new, short lived Kia Sportage... I was in an emotional rush to try to get to Price through Indian Canyon and "save" what I thought was my life--oddly, if I would have lost control not even ten more feet down the road, it would have undoubtedly taken my life. When I lost control, I let go of the wheel and grabbed Rascal to hold onto him, preparing for whatever it was that was going to happen. Instead of rolling down the 1300 foot drop, my vehicle did it's 360 degree turn, landed on the other side of the road, and started to roll, but landed in a snowbank...right side up. Only the passenger side was affected.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't stop to reflect just how thankful and happy I am still here today-- I walked away with a pretty bad concussion, back problems, and an experience that truly changed my life..It could have been so much worse. Never, ever, ever take anything for granted.. I thought I was invisible and nothing like that would happen to me--but reality hit hard--I was able to walk away from it.
