What event or moment changed your life forever?

Sunday morning I was in a very bad roll over accident. I was at highway speeds and Semi-truck came over into my lane, I moved over so he didn't hit me head on, and I hit a patch of ice on the side of the road, I skidded across the highway I flipped off the highway ripped out about 20-30 trees and landed on my roof 50 feet below road level, I was air born for a good 50-100 before coming to a stop on my roof. My truck had no airbags, and the only thing that wasn't distroyed was the drivers seat. Somehow I was not hurt aside from minor cuts. This was the turning point in my life. I have a new respect for life now.

What was the moment or event in your life where you knew it would be changed forever?

    Sorry to hear about it greg. I have been a fan of your answers since I read one of your answers in which I guy crashed on his bike and had serious confidence problems (cant find it :-( }. Hope you are okay.... An accident like that can really change your perspective on life, I have felt it myself.

    There are four moments which I can think of:

    First: When I got my first motorbike. It has changed my life in ways few things can.

    Second: When my niece was born. She keeps me occupied all the time :-)

    Third: When because of a stupid affair with a girl, I nearly flunked my final highschool exams. I still havent been able to pursue my career like I wanted to because of it.

    Fourth: When because of a freak accident, I had to undergo reconstructive plastic surgery. It changed my life forever and I still have trouble getting over it but I cant do anything about it. I always wish I could somehow change the third and fourth one..... always.

    Get well soon dude, take care!

    Most probable is meeting and marrying my wife.Other probabilities do exist such as surviving a car wreck when the fifty eight Corvette i was driving was trashed by a tractor trailer truck. I have difficulty deciding which events several I haven't cataloged here changed my life the most!
