That Moment When Your Whole Life Flashes Before You In Seconds

The last few weeks have been some of the hardest and worst times of my life in fact I feel like my heart has been crushed as I write this post today.

Two days ago my wife moved out took her stuff and got her own place she then proceeded to book a flight to Bulgaria for two weeks I took her and my 9 Year Old son to Dublin Airport on Thursday.

On the way back I was very tired after multiple nights of not sleeping and a total of three hours sleep that night.

I saw a layby because traffic on the road was busy and moving fast I picked a layby that was a little wider and parked off it over some loose gravel to stay away from the fast cars as possible.

I was absolutely dying of thirst too, I had just had a matcha latte to help me stay awake, I reached over for a bottle of Evian that was beside the seat and then at that moment I decided to look in the mirror and in the layby behind me I saw a white Mercedes doing over 100 MPH with 5 Guarda Police cars chasing them with their sirens on. The Mercedes was driving in layby to avoid traffic during the chase and swerved around my car in front of two lanes of traffic missing my car by millimeters.

If that was not scary enough I looked in my mirror again and saw a long vehicle swerved into layby to avoid hitting a Guarda vehicle it was again right behind me I am sure it was doing at least 60mph It swerved out and around me and barely missed my car once again.

I was on the phone during these two incidents to my mum and  I let out a scream . I thought I was dead literally I am a pro active driver and generally avoid accidents steer clear of them but with a car doing 100MPH behind me I had no time to start the engine and drive up the grass bank.  And if I jumped out the door of car I would be toast too.

Honestly I have no idea how I survived this it truly was a miracle like I said I have been having a very hard time lately with life so 30 mins later I am on the phone to my 21 year old son who is in Bulgaria he left the country due to my wife and I arguing and next thing a long vehicle pulls out in front of me it was near Newry. Next thing the back wheels of lorry start swerving all over the place one back tyre blows up and all the tyre remnants start scattering over my car.

I drove beside the vehicle pointed to his back tyres and he pulled over into the layby.

The thing is I have been told by the hospital that I could die from high blood sugar and diabetes but I surely was not expecting to be wiped out by some joyriders or an HGV this week although at times the way my life had been going lately I probably wished it.

So how matter how bad things look they could always get worse 🙁
