One year on to the day.

[Bloodyaussie]

Well it has been one year to the very day when my life I thought had been turned on it's head as I sat on the side of the Hume Hwy with Alexander waiting for a taxi.

I was numb and hated every second and wondered at what point did I make these mistakes that lead me to be where I was.... watching trucks pass thinking I could easliy walk in front of one but no I had my little boy with me... and after all it was only a frickin car.

Over the next week I lay in bed with severe tonsillitis and still a little boy to look after thinking the worst, it was not the case and was about to be very far from it.

Mick had a big heart and lead the way and while I refused help AB told me to get well and to not worry about it and that he would not do as I had asked.

Skip to this day getting ready for a trip to South Australia with the family and Bruce is very healthy and happy.

I thank every day for what I have and am very grateful for it.

I have not done as many trips as I would have liked but many are in the planning.

Now there are some that seem to think that I am now owned by the forum for all this help and even though I am so hugely grateful and will never forget, this is not the case.

I continue to help people from this forum when ever I can and have enjoyed some awesome trips some side splitting laughs and some deep lows with many on here.

Thanks to those that helped and I wish you a safe and Merry Christmas.

A year since that day at Tallarook, and that was one shit way to start a day. Shit time flies......Would have hated to imagine what you felt like big fella.
Onwards and upwards from there my friend, with the car, and the rest...

Hi BA,

Where in SA are you going? We like to know where the Mexicans will be for safety reasons.
If you happen to be around my way and feel like a beer let me know.
