In the blink of an eye…  all things change.

Yesterday was one  scary day.  I was running an errand with my 5 year old daughter.  As we pulled out of the parking spot at the store, and started to make our way to the light, I noticed that the brakes were not working properly.  When three people walked in front of us to get to their car – trusting that our car would be able to brake – I had to shift the car into neutral and pull up the emergency brake to prevent hitting them.  We could not have been driving faster more three mph.  Yet I had no control and could not stop the car once it started moving. Truly scary.

Daughter & I were 25 minutes from home, with only major street or interstate driving to get us there.  I am appreciatitve that this malfunction was found in a parking lot – not the highway. I am thankful for the family and friends – and the tow truck driver – who all helped in this pinch of a moment.

A blink, and now its over.
