ACCIDENT VIDEO

Please note the Honda Civic. This is the vehicle of one of my oldest friends, Megan (Melissa) - we grew up together. Our moms are best friends and we used to live around the corner from eachother. Firefighters used the jaws of life to extricate her from the vehicle. She passed out a couple of times because of the trauma that her body went through, but her vitals remained steady, and she came out with just a bunch of broken bones. She is in another surgery as I type. I found out about the accident yesterday afternoon and couldn't watch the video. I started watching a different clip from another news site without sound, and without realizing yet what I was watching, I saw her being rolled away on a stretcher by the paramedics and I had to stop watching. She was in pretty bad shape. My mom talked to her today and I will go to the hospital tomorrow, but she seems to be in good spirits.

After graduating with her Master's in social work, yesterday she was on her way to her first day at her new job. Her "dream job". My wish is that she heals quickly to start her dream job soon because an excellent social worker she'll be. She's had her ups & downs in life, but she has a heart of gold and is one of the most generous people I know. We have a lot of memories together... here's to many more.
