Strange title I know.

For those of you who do not know, my mom was hit by a car last Thanksgiving. Talking about finding things to be thankful for... We were all thankful that she is still with us.

Long story short.

My mom was leaving HD and was in the cross walk when an older woman (in a handicap spot) pulled out of her parking spot and never slowed down when she hit my mom.

The woman and HD said my mom "walked out in front of the car", but HDs surveillance video showed something completely different.

HD fearing a lawsuit would not release the video, until today (only 8 months later) because they were contacted by a lawyer.

Watching that video made me scared (for my mom) and very angry (at HD and the driver, to this day that woman has still not apologized to my mom).

When that car hit my mom she flew into the air and out about 5 feet. We are all glad the car did not wind up running over her after that.

Now that the tears have cleared up I think I will call my mom and tell her how much I love her.

Moral of the story:

Do not wait until something tragic happens to tell someone you love them.
