Just on a personal note, my wife and I are feeling very, very lucky. On Sunday, we got a phone call that no parent wants to get.
Our youngest son Will left home recently to make his way in the world. He got himself a great job as a Personal Trainer in Brisbane; and a nice place to stay. His girlfriend from Townsville just came down to visit him – life was good.
Then on Sunday, whilst the two of them were driving down the Pacific Motorway towards the Gold Coast, he had a tyre blowout and his car spun out in the midst of busy traffic. They got hit by another car, and a big truck narrowly missed them. The car was a write-off, and they were taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment.
Cutting a long story short, they miraculously escaped with minor injuries. Even though it is a terrible thing that happened, fortunately no one was badly hurt. They live to fight another day, and they have a good life lesson under their belts. Cars can be replaced – people can’t.
There was definitely a higher power looking over their shoulder, and as parents, we are very grateful. 🙂
Sorry to hear about the accident and very relieved to hear that your son and his partner are ok. Best wishes to them both for a speedy recovery.
Great news family is what matters i was always told with cars money houses etc never love anything that will not love you back
Glad to hear your family’s ok, Ned.
Scary stuff, glad everyone is OK
Glad your son and his girlfriend are ok Ned. As a parent myself, I can relate to how stressed you must have been. If I can help, please let me know.
Thanks for your thoughts and wishes. Also, thank you to those that also emailed and phoned me. Really appreciated.
Stressful glad to hear everyone is safe and well.
So glad to hear your son and his gf are ok Ned.
Thanks Adam – all getting back to normal slowly but surely.
Will is still in pain; though it is of a financial nature! Given his age, the insurance excess was $2200.
Sorry to hear about the accident Ned. That is very scary.
I’m really glad that everyone is okay. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks Nikki.
