yes in 2001. physically it took 3yr.s of physical therapy and a dozen dr.s(bunch of med.s) i also had a lot of friends and family to help. people understood. mentally i just had to keep reminding myself it wasn't my fault. a bunch of those dumb cliches` everyone talks about like, everything happens for a reason. and god only takes you when he's ready for you. and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. stuff like that became something to live by. i guess there's a reason those are cliches`. as corny as they may be they are true. the best thing is to try not center your life around "that wreck" it might ruin the moment at the time. but don't let it ruin your life.

I know someone who was in a car accident about 2&1/2 years ago & had complications. Remembers most everything before 11 or 12 years ago well enough with a few gaps here and there (probably remembers as well as anyone else does in their life from 12+ years ago). \nBut still can't remember anything from 11 or 12 years ago to 2&1/2 years ago. \nThe fortunate thing: can't remember what's been forgotten. \nFamily members and friends have tried to help by showing photos or telling stories but it's just not there. None of us realized how much wasn't remembered until this past Summer -- then had to admit not remembering anything at all between 11-12 years ago to 2&1/2 years ago (when woke up in the hospital).\nRemembers which photos have been seen and which stories have been heard over the last 2&1/2 years but there's no memory of the actual person or event, and there's no emotion at all attached to the photos/people/events.

I learned when I was 3.  I lost my father to a drunk driving accident, he was the drunk driver.  It was something that I really never recovered from, my mother did the best she could to raise me and my sister, but I still never had a father figure.  It has also made it difficult on me now as a father myself.

I have several stories to tell you that you may find interesting.\n\nI am a woman.  Once I was with my 2 year old son at the car wash and saw a man trying to drag a woman out of a car by her legs. She was screaming and holding on and yelling for help. He was hitting and punching her hard. He saw me looking and gave me a look that struck fear in my heart.\n\nI had to worry about my own safety and my child's, but I certainly am not going to do nothing about a situation like that. He was a big muscular guy.\n\nI knew there was a police station less than a mile away. I nonchalantly drove off, and then speeded like crazy to the cops and told them the situation.  They immediately went there.  I drove by but was afraid to stop and see what they did as he may have remembered me as he was looking at me and got my license and harmed me, so I drove on and left it in the police's hand. But the police did get there in time to stop him.\n\nI often report things I can't do myself like if a big piece of furniture is in a freeway lane that may cause an accident or a car wreck even if I am in a hurry.  I have no cell phone so I get off the next exit and look for a pay phone. \n\n I have also stopped to help with car accidents once seeing a car 1/4th mile off the road in the dark that went into a park and hit a tree. It was upside done and I barely caught it out of the side of my eyes. Made my brother turn the car around. The young 16 year old driver was in the car upside down and couldn't get out.  I yelled to my brother to call an ambulance..got down on my knees in the rainy, muddy ground and caressed his face and forehead and head like a mom would (he was panicked and scared), comforted him, calmed him, checked on his condition, asked him if he would like me to pray for him (he said yes) so  prayed aloud with him.  He was worried about what his mom would say about the car. I tried to let him know she would be more concerned about him, called her and calmed her down when a man came to the scene who prayed with us and I made sure she knew he was felt OK (not going to die etc) asked her to drive safely (as my child when he was 13 was hit by a car and the person calling me did not tell me he was alive (he had a broken femur and his leg was over his head in a odd position and he thought it was cut off) and until I started panicking, she finally told me he was OK so I know the panic first hand. I waited a long time till ambulance came and left and followed up at the hospital. \n\nAnother time I did the same with a man and got a blanket from my car and held it under his head, he was bleeding profusely from the head and I knelt on the ground at the freeway exit and also prayed with him and comforted him. \n\n I once came from a CPR class to find pandemonium when a car several in front of me on the freeway wrecked, he was pinned to the steering wheel and the car caught fire (people who stopped top help did get a fire extinguish and get the fire out but he was pinned by the steering wheel and the door would not open and his chest was crushing his airway and he, sadly, died.\n\nBut I decided to go to the funeral of a stranger (which was kind of scary)to let him family know more details as to how many people tried to save him desperately and how he appeared to be calm and not screaming, peaceful, etc in death as I knew they would be hungry for details as they would be told little. I was careful to be sensitive and kind and the people all told me how grateful they were I let them know and that I came. \n\n I also when a lovely family two doors down died in a house fire that threatened -due to wind -to consume my double from their double.  We didn't know they were in there for several hours while fireman battled to get fire out. A couple and their two twin boys age about 3 or 4all died. After fireman left (lived in kind of bad neighborhood), several people from a few nearby houses actually went into the house(side basement door was open

I was once driving down the road, trying to tune my radio, when I heard someone scream my name from inside of my car.  I was alone in my car and looked up to just avoid what would have been a bad accident.  Is that what you are looking for?

Yes when I was only 13 years old I saw a kid almost get hit by a car. I will go into more detail.\n\nThe scene:\nI was walking down the street when I looked over and saw a smaller kid in the middle of a busy intersection and an adult man on the other side of the road with his back turned to the kid. I also saw a car that seemed to be out of control headed towards the kid. I was to far to do anything, but the man wasn't.\n\nThe miracle:\nFirst I foresaw this man running and grabbing this kid before the car could hit him. That is exactly what happened.  \n\nThe miraculace thing about it is that there was no way that the man could have seen the kid with his back turned before he started running towards him; he just seemed to have stopped in mid step and turned around running towards the kid.\n\nThis was the first time out of many that i seemed to have been able to either see the future or kind of alter the lines of destany. I eventually became a Wiccan (witch) due to these kind of things happening to me, but I'm not anymore. I am now all religions.

Oh God YES!!!  My friend had got into an accident a few years ago with an 86 yr old man who "didn't see" her PARKED car in the post office parking lot... He was backing up so fast in his truck that his tires ended up on top of her back bumper and screwed everything up even the lock on her truck was stuck!  How you can miss a 3000 pound object is beyond me!!!
