At 4am this morning I was awoken by my husband ringing me asking me to call the police as he had been involved in a road traffic accident. He told me the dogs and he were fine but the car was on its roof. I assumed he meant he was in a car on its roof. Thankfully a few minutes later he rang back and told me it wasn't him but the drivers of the other car who were so drunk they could barely stand.
I called the police and gave them My husbands mobile number. 4 police cars, 2 ambulances and one dog handler unit attended. I can not fault the police or the ambulance crew. All were concerned about our dogs which was very touching. The windows had smashed and they had been showered with glass. 2 dogs have been slightly injured with small cuts.
When Hubby got home an hour later I wept it was only then the full horror hit me. Today I could have become a widow. The police told my husband had he not swerved to avoid the car that was traveling on the wrong side of the road and had become airborne after hitting a grass verge, this car would have gone through the windscreen and killed my husband. Literally I was a split second away from losing the love of my life.
The car is written off, my husband is injured, my dogs are injured but they are all alive.
Never forget the most important thing you have in your life are the people you love and the people that love you. The rest is immaterial.
I hope all of you will remember this as until today I think I had almost forgotten this and been too caught up with other things.

Hi hun. I still can't believe what so nearly happened and can't imagine how you both must be feeling. My heart is reaching out to you.
Ellie sent me over here to offer comfort - I hope you are all feeling less shaken soon and take some heart in this timely reminder of what is most important in your life.
Hello there! I've come over from Ellie's blog. So very sorry to hear of the terrifying accident but really glad that, although injured, your husband and dogs are ok.
I also have a love of my life and two precious cats and have just told them again how much I love them.
I hope you can enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Hi Rachel - Ellie offered your link so here I am. Your husband is to be credited with quick thinking, and I don't think it is too far a step to say that he had an angel on his shoulder. I will keep you both in my prayers. God bless.

My God, you poor thing! I've gone through this myself and I know how scared it must have made you.
