I was driving to my son’s baseball game  on 1-70, going 70 mph.  There was a very long semi, two lanes over and ahead of me. It did not see the sedan in between us as it moved to the center lane. I watched as an accident was about to happen.

The semi side-swiped the sedan which swerved out of the way and side swiped me. My car was out of control, about to tip and I was scared until I came to a stop.  Luckily, I was on the shoulder headed the correct way. It will all be okay I said to myself.

The semi kept driving. The other driver who was in his 60’s and his wife pulled over behind me on the highway. I was in one piece and I saw him get out of his car. It will all be okay.

I approached the driver and I was “shaking like a leaf,” he noted. He sobbed and asked if I was okay. I knew I needed touch, so I reached to hug him. It will be okay. His wife called 911.

We waited, and I reminded myself again that it will all be okay. I went back to my car as it was 90 degrees.  Every five minutes the driver came to apologize again. I tried to assure him it was not his fault, and we were all okay.  I think his brain stayed in guilt mode convinced he had done something wrong.

After the cops came and filed a report, I decided to skip baseball and come home to rest. It will all be okay.

Then I broke down. That is normal I told myself, It will be okay. After resting and a bath, I

tried to call insurance. 

My car is banged up and the passenger door is a challenge to open. It will be okay. 

I may not get reimbursed as I don’t have comprehensive insurance, my car is drivable. It will be okay. 

So many thoughts I could have chosen this morning. Who knows what the semi driver is thinking; he may or may not know he caused an accident. The driver in the other car thought he had caused me harm and felt guilt. I believe and know it will be all okay.
