Laws of Matriarch

I've been in accidents before, but nothing like this.  I'm filled with anger towards the distracted driver who caused this situation and walked away without a care. I have grandchildren to look after, including one granddaughter in care that I'm fighting to bring home.

Around the world, people are rising up peacefully to show their support. The reality of socially accepted racism is a significant issue in Canada. Indigenous peoples should not be facing homelessness, ...

My mom was sitting in front with me, and our legs got pinned as the impact pushed us forward. I’m still worried about my mom and dad ❤️🙏🏽 Thank you for all your prayers ❤️🙏🏽 There was no time to hit the brakes. As the airbags went off, I could hear my mom yelling, "What’s happening?!" We were thrust forward, and it felt like my feet just moved on their own. The car didn’t stop; it started rolling back. My dad jumped out to stop the van so we could escape. With all the smoke filling the air, Dad was concerned about a potential fire. Mom told us to get out of the car. I didn’t realize Dad was trying to stop the van, and I yelled at him, "Dad, the car is still moving! Get back in!" It looked like he was being dragged along. Finally, we came to a stop, and Dad he...
