I Never Thought That Getting Hit by a Car Would Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

At 45, my life turned into hell: my husband left me, turned my son against me. I took a job as a cleaner just to survive. With the stress of divorce and court, I couldn’t focus, and eventually, I was fired.

Feeling lost, I wandered aimlessly. I was walking after getting fired, when suddenly, a blinding light hit my eyes, and the screech of brakes pierced my ears. A car was speeding right at me! In shock, I stumbled and fell straight into a muddy puddle. The driver stopped just inches from my face.

Divorced, humiliated, fired—and now totally embarrassed.

The driver jumped out of the car: “DO YOU REALIZE YOU ALMOST DENTED MY CAR?!”

Me: “S-sorry…”

Driver: “Think next time, you idiot!”

A voice from behind: “Don’t you dare speak to a woman like that. Can I help you?”

Surprised by the sudden kindness, I turned to see who it was. And OH MY GOD!!

Thought about unexpected reconnecting and healing for 4 seconds

I lost everything at forty-five—my husband left, my son believed his lies, I got fired. One day, I nearly got run over by a jerk who cared more about his car than my life.

Then I heard a voice: Alejandro, my old high school crush, jumped in to defend me. He took me in, fed me, and offered me a shot at starting over. By chance, I landed a part-time job at a small art gallery. I finally reconnected with my son and found the strength to rebuild. It wasn’t easy, but in Alejandro’s kindness and that little gallery, I discovered hope again.
