 Man, I have nightmares about this. I've been with my fiance for almost 7 years. I know 7 years isn't nearly as long as an elderly couple who's been married more than half their life, but we have one of those once in a lifetime connections that feels like we grew up together, as if we've always known each other. My absolute worst fear is losing him. My entire world revolves around him, I truly don't know what I would do. Just a few years ago, my neighbor who has lived in the apartment right below mine for years, drove literally 2 blocks down the street to the gas station and was t-boned by a teenager who picked that moment to drag race down the main street. Her own teenage son was in the passenger seat and he walked away with a few bruises thank god, but the mother was nearly crushed to death and had to be freed from the car with the "jaws of life." I saw the wreckage first hand - I was heading to the same gas station but luckily 10 minutes later. I'll never forget seeing chunks of metal and debris trailing for half a mile down the street, I kept finding bits several months later. She survived but broke both legs and her pelvis was shattered. Now she's permanently disabled due to chronic pain and I'm sure some level of PTSD. Just think, it only happened because some stupid teenager made one bad impulsive decision at that moment. The idea that random accidents can happen to anyone at any time really scares me. Of course it's best not to dwell on it, just hug your loved one tight and never take their presence for granted!
