A year a go my life changed forever, i was working at the black canyon national park, when this old lady came up to me and gave me a wooden cross she hand carved and told me i was going to need this. Then not even 10 seconds later i get a call from my sister saying my mom was in a car accident, my mom was rear ended by a teenager who was texting in driving. She was going 40 mph in a 25 zone, my mom was at a complete stop at a crosswalk. She was in a brand new car, her first payment was only three days prier. The girl hit my mom at 40mph, it totaled the car and gave my mom a double concussion, post concussion syndrome, cognitive commutative deficit disorder, vertigo, memory and speech problems, gate and mobility deficit, lost her job, her car, increased her CPTSD, and anxiety. She goes to 5 different therapies every week. I quit my job too take over her job of taking care of her dad\ my grandpa, I also am taking care of her. This happened on September 15, 2021, and she is still recovering. So if you're a teen or someone who texts n drives, maybe this poem could help you change your ways.
