Close call today

I feel numb and humble and shaky in my heart; Conley almost got hit by a car today. I feel like the emotions that would have been there had he been hit, are there, because I really thought he was going to get hit. It was sooo close. He came out behind a fence and put his brakes on. And if he hadn't he would have gotten hit right then by a car. It scared me to death. Scared the life out of me. I screamed his name twice and that alone was a scary sound. I'm sooooooooooooo tearfully grateful that he put his brakes on and that the car didn't hit him. His life flashed before my eyes. I saw what would have happened and it was terrible. I still feel freaked out and nauseated. I'm just so grateful. I went over and hugged him itghtly for a minute or so. He let me. He said he put his brakes on because he knew it would make me happy. He's so sweet and good. I held him. Oh how devastated I'd be. I stayed close to him the rest of the day. We went and talked to the person who almost hit him (a neighbor we don't know). We thanked her for being careful. It's the first thing Conly told Joseph when joseph got home. And I put him down tonight and I was so glad to do that. I wanted to snuggle him and be close to him. I love him with all my heart. He has been such a blessing ot me in my life. He has been so sweet and funny; he was the perfect absolutely perfect way for me to enter motherhood.
