Life Flashes Before Eyes

It is just another sunny afternoon and I was running a few errands with my sister. We had made our first few stops and decided to head to Southwest to watch my brothers basketball game. Singing along to the radio and thinking that nothing could possibly go wrong. I am a good driver and I am very aware of my surroundings. My sister suddenly screams to remind me that we have to run home first to bring my dogs there bone. I check my mirrors and it looks clear to change lanes. I begin to cut across and a the sudden my sister is white in the face and she is trying to scream by nothing is coming out. I swerve away and pull over. immediatly the tears come and I begin questioning my sister. Everything was fine. When we were on our way home my sister finally spoke, "Amy I am not scared to die but for that second when I thought I was going to I really didn't want to" said Amanda. What do you say to a sixth grader who could have lost her life because of the one she looks up to. I learned that you should never take for granted the time you have and love every minute you get. Because who knows you could be dead in a day, minute, seconds........
