so like, yeah i, uh...
sorry. some of you may or may not know, i had a very large life changing event called a "car accident" back in Apr 2006 whereby my vehicle, controlled by myself, acted upon my decision to drive through an intersection after it's driver failed to notice the very large 3 day old Harley travelling very fast in my direction. the resultant crash was a "t bone", the car was bent like a banana and the rider managed to miss the front wheel, allowing some crumple and possibly saving his life, and ended up on the road about 10m away with a broken jaw, dislocated shoulder and i think broken leg.
-------------------
anyway, i had a - uh - "series of events" last night and today.
on the way home from WAIP, i turned left instead of right and ended up at Berwick St. oh well, no biggie i thought, i know my way out of here from when i was working in South Perth and East Vic Park.
So driving along Berwick St i come down the hill to site of the accident.
and i gots a thinking just how far and how much has changed for me in four years. how lucky i've been, how hard i've worked, i have two more children, a successful small business and i'm off to bali in about 4 weeks. this was all pondered at about 11:00pm.
this morning there was a bang on the door at about 7:30am. prob my lovely neighbour's kids, asking if they can grab the ball that flew over the fence when they were in the pool last night....
it's a bailiff.
serving me a writ.
for the accident in 2006.
now, he's not suing ME per se, it's just third party insurance cover. the insurance wasn't driving the car so they can't be handed the writ, i have to forward the letter to the insurance commission.
and i got thinking again.
how much sh*t has the dude on the bike been through in the past four years? how can this case still be ongoing? i bet his life has practically been on hold.
and now i sit here - semi depressed at the thought that he gave his four years to me, literally, because i feel i have been living enough for two people.
no i don't need meds, just very very very humbled.
