Post 1,090: The Joy of Death

September 17, 20251 min read

Close to a decade ago now, I was hit by a truck while I was out on my bike. It was a drunk driver who turned into me. Honestly, I don’t even remember it. I just woke up in the hospital, and then had to piece everything together from what everyone was telling me.

What eventually got figured out was that if I had been just a little bit faster, the driver would have completely run me over. My injuries would have been much worse, or I could have possibly just been dead.

It seems like nothing good came from this. However, something did. By sheer chance I am still alive. I get to see my daughters grow up. I get to hang out with family and friends. I get to write for you.

I had a terrible experience that gave me a beautiful gift. I am so lucky to be here.
