Today

I have come a long way from being closer, to the near death experience I had as a teen-ager. When I was 17. I had just had my 18'th birthday. I really didn't experience life. It was the car accident. Not BECAUSE of the car accident. What if I blamed myself, because of the guilt over that tragedy in my life?

What a way to begin my life as an adult.

It was August 28, between 2-4 in the afternoon around Flacon Lake in Mantioba. I was driving back home to Winnipeg from Kenora. Someone was sitting next to me in the passenger seat. Her name is Amanda. Amanda was asleep. I fell asleep at the wheel. During the final moment that I did finally wake up, it was too late. The car rolled into a ditch.

But here I am, today.
