Finally Somewhere to Put This
Knoxville, USA·June 9, 2026
I am 79 years old and my granddaughter showed me this website and I thought well finally somewhere to put this because I have been carrying it since 1987 and my mother always said some things are between you and God but I think she would understand.
I fell asleep at the wheel. I know I did because there was a gap. One moment I was on the highway, then nothing, then I was parked on the shoulder with the engine running and my hands on the wheel and no idea how I got there. No ditch. No damage. Just parked, neat as you please, like I had done it on purpose. Truck route between Knoxville and Bristol, 2 in the morning.
I have thought about that night for nearly forty years. I don't know if an angel moved the truck or God reached down or something else I don't have a word for. I just know I should have died and didn't and I have tried every day since to live in a way that was worth whatever that was. Forty years I've wanted somewhere to write that down. Here it is.
