Grateful for life

This was one of those moments where you are grateful for health and safety. Let me just say that we were not in that truck, but right across the street, we were waiting on the corner for the bus just a moment earlier. The young man driving the truck and the other driver were both okay. Hayden's bus had just picked him up and had driven down the street when I heard a horn honk and then "crash." I turned to see the truck hit the telephone pole and roll. I called 911 and helped the man (CERT training at work!). Then as trained professionals arrived and I stepped back, I looked at my two kids still in the stroller, and was so grateful that nothing happened to them. I'm also glad it didn't happen one minute earlier when the truck could have hit Hayden's kindergarten bus. I think I will be a little apprehensive about standing on the corner from now on.
