An Update (and thanks)

Hello, everyone. *hugs* I'm not really back online, my wrist is still in a cast (and, actually, they discovered that there's something wrong with my neck too, but please don't worry about me, its going to get better)

I'm posting this to tell you all how much your comments helped me. I think I must have cried every time I saw a new comment. I'm so blessed to have met all of you and I can't imagine what I could ever have done to deserve such kindness. Whenever I start feeling down or scared, I remember all of you and what you said and I feel better.

Although I still won't be on for what feels like an eternity sometimes, I want to occasionally update to at least let you know that I'm basically okay.

Oh, and I wanted to clear up what happened with the accident. I gave you the wrong idea (please don't be mad at the people who hit us. It wasn't like a hit and run) I would have posted this sooner, but to be honest I didn't want to relive it. But I'm feeling a little better today and, well, here's what happened-

~I was in the passenger seat (Mom was driving) and we were just leaving the town that I take guitar lessons in. We were coming near to the interstate when a car came off the off ramp. They were going too fast and didn't stop for the stop sign. They took the turn too wide and before we really realized what was happening, they hit us.

~Our van stopped instantly, but theirs spun a bit (which, apparently is why they weren't really hurt). I don't remember much about the actual impact. I know I jerked my hands up to cover my face, but I just don't remember falling forward. I just remember falling back. Mom says that its good I was wearing my seatbelt (I always do) because otherwise I... actually I don't want to think about it.

~Anyway, after that my memory is sort of fuzzy. I was terrified and my whole body hurt, but all that I really remember thinking was how scared I was that mom might have been seriously hurt. I had no idea that I had actually gotten hit harder. (which, really, I do think I'm happier it worked like that. I'm so thankful I was the only one seriously hurt)

~Okay, that brings us to where some of you misunderstood what happened. The teens who crashed into us didn't leave. I just meant that they were *able* to get up and walk away once the police came and asked them a few questions.

~Although, it wasn't those two who checked on us. A kind man who saw the crash came and made sure that we had called for help. Then he stayed and talked to us to try to keep us calm until the ambulance came. I'm very grateful to him.

Okay, I hope that clears it up. I want to thank all of you again. I was just so overwhelmed by your kind words and love. You're all such a blessing, I wish I could thank each of you personally, but I'm starting to get frustrated typing with one hand (and I'm afraid I'm just exhausted)

So, I hope that all of you are well and I'm looking forward to when I can return <3

Have a great day.
