Pencil Thin

It has been the longest February I can remember for a long time. It started when a driver fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into the side of my husband’s car. He was seriously injured and thankfully is now at home. I don’t think I have slept a full night since the accident and probably look like a walking advertisement for reasons to get the best under eye cream. I am now finally feeling that a full night of sleep is just around the corner. My husband made it through the night last night without needing a sleeping pill or some pain medication. This is a huge step forward in the healing process for him. I am still afraid every time we get in the car because the reality is that no matter how safely I drive it is now painfully clear I can’t prevent an accident. I know that eventually this fear will subside but right now I can’t help but worry. Thoughts enter my mind at night as to whether we are choosing a safe replacement car? I also hope that we have adequate insurance coverage in case of future accidents.
