School Brings Back Memories

So I was sitting in class today, and my teacher Mrs. Benson made a statement that she was right around my age. So my momma was in this real bad car accident and she had to have alot of surgeries, cause she had so many broken bones. I remember that day perfectly.! It was in the morning of November 2009 around 7:40 when I got a phone call from my younger sister saying that our mom was in a car accident. And the bus had just pulled up and I was crying my eyes out the whole day at school. She was on her way over to our house to bring me some papers for school. Then all of the sudden a pick up truck comes and cuts of the car in front of her, and I guess hit it because that car spun around and hit her, then she ended up upside down, rammed into a pole, unconscious, and stuck in a smashed up car.  I was in the deepest depression ever. Nothing in the whole wide world could cheer me up.  I really love my mom even though we have arguments. So you couldn't even imagine what I was thinking that day. So when my teacher told me that story I had a flashback of the accident. And that made me realise that god has given me a miracle, because I still have my mom with me today, and I love her. Boy does school bring back memories. <3

  1. Damarea,

    Thank you for sharing your story. You have some moments in your memory that would really grab a reader, if you were to turn this into a story and develop it. Your description of how you felt when your sister told you and of the accident would be wonderful places to slow down and give sensory details. I also want to know more about your sister and how she was told. How scary that must have been for you guys. Who watched over you while mom healed? How has this changed your childhood? How is your mom today? Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. If you should choose to write more about it, I would love to read it.
