Of Car Accidents

Bel got into an accident this afternoon. She was crossing over the street with some other colleagues in front of her office. She saw there were no cars on the usually busy street. 2-3 steps away upon reaching the pavement, a car came from nowhere, sped, saw them, couldn't brake in time, and knocked Bel on her left hip. She flew and fell onto the pavement. The Malay lady driver stopped her car, wound down the window and asked if she was ok. Then she drove off.

Bel laid on the ground for a moment, then got up. Thank God she didn't hit her head. Just a couple of grazes over at her chin and her left elbow. The muscles on her left body were strained though. She could hardly lift up her left arm and she had to limp a bit. Got her x-rayed, and luckily no bones broken or any blood clot or memory lapse. She just needs to undergo one or two physiotherapy sessions.

Really thank God the injury wasn't very serious. 1 minute too late, she would have hit her head and I don't know what would have happened. It just made me realize how fragile one's life is. 1 minute, one is all geared up with ambitions and all. The next minute, something terrible happens, and he/she's gone just like that.

No doubt that we have conflicts every now and then, I wouldn't want to ever imagine how will I live without her in my life, my one and only sister.. Thank you, Lord, for keeping Bel safe.. Amen..
