I Never Thought That Getting Hit by a Car Would Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
Lucy’s life had once been filled with love and happiness, but after a painful divorce, she lost not only her marriage but also her son, Harry, who believed she had abandoned him. One day, while working at Miss Kinsley’s house, Lucy spotted an old family photo, triggering memories of her past. Miss Kinsley, sensing her sadness, gently encouraged her to let go of the past, though Lucy felt lost and alone.
On her way home, Lucy was nearly hit by a car. The angry driver, Glen, berated her, but his companion, George, stepped in with kindness. He helped Lucy and invited her to his mansion to dry off. Once there, she was shocked to discover that George was an old high school friend she hadn’t seen in years. As they caught up, Lucy shared her struggles with him—her broken marriage, estranged son, and recent job loss. George listened compassionately, and the two began to reconnect.
As they reminisced, George reminded Lucy of a prom night confession he had made years ago. He gently suggested that while they couldn’t go back, maybe their reunion meant something now. For the first time in years, Lucy felt hope and warmth. George invited her to dinner, and they laughed, with Lucy feeling lighter and more optimistic.
Walking away from George’s home, Lucy realized that life wasn’t over—it was just beginning. What she thought was a misfortune had turned into an unexpected opportunity for a fresh start, and she felt a renewed sense of hope for the future.
