Something Happened

[omahaman2]

Yesterday,I almost died in an accident.A truck blew up at a gas station i was at.I was inside ,as usual unaware of what was going on,three of us there not noticing all the employees were gone. Jenny who was outside wasnt allowed to go get me but forced across the street and up a hill because the fire was getting out of hand and was on top of where their gas tank was.
They also feared not only that,but the store catching fire and the car behind it going up. MY CAR!!!! I walked out of the place when i noticed no one was there to ring up my pepsi, and just as loud explosions started,as the truck started shooting off flaming tires.
As you can tell I lived but the experience reminded me how death
could come at any minute. So,before any time passes by,and something does happen, I told jenny how much i loved her. I also wanted to make sure to tell all of you how much you mean to me,how much your friendship and caring means,and how grateful i am for all of you in my life.I dont want something to happen and not have that chance to tell you all that. I also wanted to tell everyone of you this,as a reminder,for you too
to tell each and everyone you care about,how much they mean to you. Even,if someone has done something to upset you,forgive them and tell them how much they mean to you.Its not the person youre upset with,but an action,which they might not even know hurt you and you may never have another chance to let them knowhow you feel.Enjoy life,its very short and youre not getting out of it alive.

I'm glad you are okay Oman. And you're right, life is too short to worry about not telling someone that you care. I just wrote an e-mail to someone who's far away from me right now expressing my feelings to them for the first time, and it was hard to do at first. Something like this reminds me of how easy it should have been.

I lost my father when I was very young, so I too am aware of how life can vanish in an instant. I'm just glad you're life hasn't vanished on us yet, because I think you keep a lot of us remembering the things that matter.

Thank you Oman.

Hugs to you and jenny... Thank God you are okay. Yes, life is fragile, I see people who hold grudges and families who fight among themselves. You can lose someone you love in an instant.
To all my loved ones...I LOVE YOU...

Oman,

I only know you through reading your posts. I've watched you and Jenny grow together and the happiness that you both have shared in.

Yes, something like this does put everything into perspective. It's times like these when you realize what the important things really are in life.

Life truly is a gift. I'm thankful that you're okay and were able to walk away from a terrible tragedy. Jenny must have been beside herself, I can't even imagine.

Hugs to both of you and enjoy what you have together. It is truly a blessing. I am counting mine at this very moment. Thank you.

I am so glad you are here with us.
We often take it for granted that we will be here tomorrow.
We should all make those gestures and say those words for tomorrow could be too late. The ancient toltec sorcerers used to impress this on their apprentices.........Be aware of your mortality and treat each moment as if it is your last.......When taken in that context.....who wants to spend their time in pettiness or negative things...***** is too beautiful, each moment should be crafted lovingly with beauty for it may be one's last......

I was in an commercial airliner when we were passing through a bad thunderstorm........the jet dropped unexpectatly 1200 feet when we hit a down draft.......people were screaming, things were air borne.......I decided that I did not want my last thoughts to be of fear or panic......I managed to fall into a meditative state and fortunately we made it and nobody was seriously hurt....but man! It sure is an eye opener.......

It's not your time yet Oman. You still have a purpose to fulfill. God grant you and Jenny a long and happy life together.

Oman I am so glad that you and Jenny were not hurt. What an awful experience to go through. I can only imagine what Jenny was going through, not being able to let you know or get to you and then you when you walk out in the middle of the situation. Like someone said it must not have been your time yet. But life is so short and you never know if tomorrow will come. Last Oct. I talked to my mom on the phone before going to work and we told each other that we loved each other and said we would talk when she got home the next day. The next morning short time after I got home, I got the phone call she had died in her sleep.

To each and everyone one here,all my friends and loved ones I just want you to know how much I cherish each and every one of you. I don't know what I would do without you.

And to AA - you know how much I love you, but can never say it enough, so big guy... from the bottom of my heart. I Love You with all my heart and our day will come!

I DON'T KNOW YOU

Oman And Jenny!!! I am so glad that you are Okay! Jenny...HUGGGG I know you had to have been frantic with worry about that Sweetheart you have there.
Oman...Thank you for this thread. Maybe it WILL open some eyes to how easy it is to lose everything in a hurry! Hugggggg

 

[Ladybird]

Gosh Oman, you learnt a very valuable lesson, and I'm glad you shared it with us.

It's so easy to take one another for granted. It's only when they're no longer there that regrets flow.

To my friends here, and to Oman and Jenny in particular... thank you for the friendship and love and hope that you've shared with me. I love you all.

My best friend died on Tuesday, he had cancer. He was only 20 years old. He bled to death after the surgery because they didn't take him off the blood thinners soon enough. My only consolation was that I told him I loved him every chance I had. I knew he loved me and he knew I loved him. I'm glad you made it through ok and you and Jenny are ok. I don't know either of you, but I feel what you're going through. We almost lost Lucas so many times that I was sure he was going to make it through this, so when he didn't, it was devastating. Like I've heard said before, and I do believe this, like if you're on the phone fighting, don't hang up angry, things like that. It's the little things that mean so much, and that is the truth. Hold her close tonight, and closer the next night, remember, life isn't eternal. Good luck.

The fact that you two are both still with us is a blessing that has to be appriciated as ALL from the AUSSIE thread have got to know you both with your love growing.

Life sure does have a habbit of turning to crap at times you least expect it.

Stay safe guys as you give so much hope to all of us who don't have love in our lives at the moment but carry the hope that like you we will find it.

We can never tell those we love that we DO love them enough.

 

[BlueDaisy]

Good grief, Oman...what a story! I'm glad to hear that you two are ok. How frightening that must have been.

Toni and Jen...I'm sorry to hear your stories; my heart goes out to you both.

Oman and Jen, your stories really hit home to me right now because of a situation in my life. I know that I need to tell my loved ones how I feel about them, but am not really sure what to say. Guess I'll tell them that I love them and leave it at that. *shrug*

 

[Gil_T2]

It's not your time yet Oman. You still have a purpose to fulfill. God grant you and Jenny a long and happy life together.

My dear friend KIKI I love the the AV with that beautiful smile showing the loverly lady I knew was hidden.

Big hugs from my heart

At 20 his life has barely started, now gone & that is devistating by it's self but it is wonderful people like you that do help to know that they are always in your heart.

My own health is failing quicker than I would like but know I have wonderful friends around me who care even though those 3 words are not spoken I do know & am very thankful for there acceptance.My father is in a bad way in hospital at the moment & we have been told not to expect aany miricles in his recovery & the sad part is both my parents have never said these words to me or my sister who commented on it when she was home last (she lives in CANADA but she & I always tell each other we love each other as well as mum & dad, I guess it was the era they were brought up in.

I also have made many wonderful friends on this site & been lucky to have met several in R/L as well & my love for all of them is deep.

Value the ones you love.

BlueQT here...for those of you who don't know this as my author name.

I just wanted to give a big old hug to Oman and Jenny. Oman, it's been a while and when I asked Boo/Woman how you were, she gave me the link to this thread.

Oman, what you wrote was beautiful and I'm happy that the horrible ordeal was able to bring a positive light into your life. I miss you terribly and am glad that I will not have to miss you any more than necessary.

Be well, take care and I wish you continued health and happiness with Jenny....I know that both of those will come easily to you when you are together

 

[1sexylady]

To lose you and Jenny would be one of the biggest losses of Lit......You have shown us soooooooo much love and faith. I am soooooooo happy nothing serious happened and if anything it brought more Love to your lives...

 

[alwaysawake]

Wowwwwwww Oman...glad you and Jenny are OK (although shaken!) How true--life is fragile and fleeting and you two are an inspiration to all of us--especially me! I sent the link to my 'sweet baby sis' (who you know SO well), and she cried. Take care--my best thoughts and prayers are with both of you for life!

 

[tigerjen]

Oman & Jenny......

I am glad that you two are alright and made it through......I
started reading your account, Oman, and damn if I were in
your shoes I'd be scared shitless!

I think fate has it that you are still here, because Jenny
is there at your side.

Lots of love to you and her!

Oman...I am so thankful that you are safe. How horrifying...and yes, quite a reality check! I can't even begin to think how Jenny must have felt as well. Thank you for always being so supportive to me, Oman.

Thank you to all my friends here at Lit. Im thankful for your friendship and to have a place to go to enjoy the company, the freedom, and the comradarie that is Lit.
