An Unforgettable day

It wa a unny balmy afternoon at the end of a leiurely ummer。 I wa driving on a winding country road with a lady friend。 Little did I know that I wa to have a cloe call that would have almot ruined the ret of my life。

Earlier that day， a friend called me to tell me that our mutual friend Roy wa arriving back from Taiwan after the ummer holiday。 Since there wa no airport in the immediate vicinity of the univerity， he would need a ride to come back on campu。

Being mildly intereted in that girl， I jumped at the chance to play hero。 The trip wa not particular long or arduou。 I wa to pick her up from a friend’ home that wa a mere 80 mile from campu—a piece of cake， I aid to myelf。

Everything went well。 The country road wa almot deerted。 Viibility wa good and I wa not driving very fat。 The converation wa lively but not ditracting。

About half an hour into the drive， I rounded a corner and noticed two mall children， aged around 10， waiting to cro the road after getting off their chool bu。 My mind wa not particularly focued on them becaue I thought they would not cro the road when a truck wa coming through on their ide。 The two kid looked to their left， watching the truck intenely。 A oon a the truck paed， and without a thought， they tarted to dah acro the road。 I wa petrified， to ay the leat。 My heart almot leaped out of my throat。 Time eemed to have come to a tandtill。 It wa like a nightmare coming into reality。 I felt I wa in the low motion crah cene of a movie。 I did not even have the time to brake or teer clear。

By providence miled on me that day。 The two kid mied my car by le than an inch。 Imagine what would have happened if I had hit them? They would have been killed intantly。 I would have been charged with manlaughter and thrown into jail。 My career would be over before it even got tarted。 The kind of inhumane treatment I would receive from fellow inmate， I could only gue but hate to imagine。 I will never be a whole peron again even if I were to be releaed early for good behavior。 My life would be over。 Even if I had a good lawyer that could have gotten me off， I would have carried that guilt in my mind for the ret of my life。

Even today， thirty-ix year later， the memory of that day i till freh on my mind。 I have my lucky tar to thank for having both partie gotten off uncathed。
