PF,

I witnessed a fatal accident on the highway a few weeks ago and pulled over to talk to the cops. It was very upsetting. This car was literally ran off the road by another car right in front of me. It was scary and so surreal at the same time. I kept thinking, "that could have easily have been me!" and then there was also a part of me that felt guilty that it was not me, because the girl who did die was only in her early 20s...and I felt that she probably had a lot more to live for than me, and it should have been me that had been run off the road an not her. So there were a lot of powerful emotions I was feeling, but the over-riding one was just how close to death I came...and how unafraid of it I was, and it was my being unafraid of it that was the most disturbing part of it for me.
