I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love I’ve experienced in the last 24 hours. after being involved in a low speed head on collision last night, despite the fact that my car is messed up, everything else has been incredible.
The emergency units that responded were great. Pasadena fire department, police department, and paramedics were very kind and helpful. Random strangers stopped to make sure everyone was alright, and a lady named Beth stayed with me through the entire thing. She even drove me home afterwards. I don’t know much at all about her, but she was a very calm and caring person. She made sure everyone got checked out, that all the right information was exchanged, and that things were taken care of properly.
My friends and coworkers have been wonderful too. I’ve had people calling and sending texts to make sure I’m ok and don’t need anything. It makes me feel loved and supported. But the most caring act of all is the outpouring of love from my family. Despite being woken up at 1 am with a call from me, my mom was able to help me figure out what to do. My parents even went so far as to book a ticket out to Cali for Shane. They understood that even though I’m an independent person, having someone else here with me will help immensely. It was unexpected, and wonderful news.
The concern of people I’ve never met, the support of my family, and the caring of my friends have turned this nightmare into something bearable. There are not enough words to tell them all how much they mean to me. All I can really say is thank you. And I love you all!
