D.C was about to go for a walk to clear his head and ponder, think, pray, just to get a bit of space to think about what lies ahead of us and I was about to go and get some meat for our evening meal.
As we stepped outside D1 (daughter 1) and her friend A.C arrived back in an auto. We went down to help out with the payment and as I approached I saw a bus taking the corner very fast a wide and before I knew it I was calling "watch out". The bus hit the rear end of the parked auto and then dragged the auto with him while also hitting the auto into another parked vehicle. The other vehicle happened to be one that we had just picked up from a friend to go on a day trip tomorrow. Isn't that the way. Your own car never gets a scratch but as soon as you borrow one..... The amazing thing is that no one was hurt. The auto driver had a slight sore leg but it could have been way worse. If the girls had remained in the auto for a few seconds longer then it might have been a different story. If the bus had hit on another angle it may have sent the auto flying into all of us on the kerb not to mention all the pedestrians that are usually walking on the road. Thank God for this outcome.
When that sort of thing happens, it helps get things in perspective. Just how important life is and what's really important in life.
