He was working and wouldn't leave to get me, my parents were both working and COULDN'T get there to be with me...and I stood in pouring rain, baby bump and all crying as the tow truck driver hooked up my mustang and the paramedic kept trying to get me to lay down on the stretcher. I felt alone, and very much a grown up in that moment. <br /><br />Thankfully car was mended easily, loser baby Daddy left the state and my parents took me and babe in, but I was independent more after that than ever before. Oh, and the baby was fine. It was a minor fender bender. Somebody knocked into me while I was stopped at a red light.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422648347443986000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457430229512956956.post-85174393727619088202011-04-14T12:47:19.480-04:002011-04-14T12:47:19.480-04:00Thank you for sharing your story-I honestly can NO...Thank you for sharing your story-I honestly can NOT imagine losing my husband.

Wow.<br />Thank goodness for your MIL; maybe it helped her to be with you during that time too...?<br />Anyway - I am SO glad that life is good for you now.
