When is the last time you got scared when you thought of the "what ifs"?

When my daughter was in 2nd grade, she and her brother (4th grade) would ride the bus to school. It stopped right in front of my house, going right to left, so the kids had to cross the street in front of the bus to enter the door. I always stood on the front porch to see them off, and there was never any traffic to worry about, plus the kids knew to look both ways.
Anyway, brother ran ahead of her, and got on the bus, and just as she reached the front corner of the bus, she stopped. She must have heard something, because she looked back at me. Just then, the bus took off, missing her by inches. My heart stopped completely. She ran back to the yard, and i put her in the truck and chased that dam bus driver all the way to school, and when I went up to his window he was ashen. He realized what had happened, after he had done it. He just didnt look down in front of the bus for kids. I made sure he knew how I felt (I was still shaking), and let it go.

It was only by the grace of God that she didnt get run over, and I have never been so scared in all my life.

I'm scared right now thinking of all the what ifs of being a single mom, and a whole lot of other what ifs, but what can we do right? Suck it up and get on with life. It will work itself out eventually and hopefully sometime soon that fear will go away.
When you've had someone drilling it into your head for so many years that you can't do it alone you start to believe them at some point I guess. Time to step up and prove him wrong!

My daughter was very sick when she was four and when into a coma during a high fever. She had been in ICU for several days and I was 20 hours away. Luckily she came out of it and did not suffer any brain damage. I have never prayed so hard in my life.

Yesterday .
My hubby and I were shopping and a girl walked up with her cart and said 'hello' to him. I could see him out of the corner of my eye, his whole countenance changed. He pulled his chest up, got a smile from ear to ear then shocked. he stood there for a moment and talked 'small talk' with her. Not ever introducing me to her as his wife. We didn't speak for the rest of the shopping trip or on the way home. He has be acting so strange lately, missing lunch dates, being late, not calling, etc. I find myself thinking" What IF" all the time lately. I can't even cry anymore!

Wow that could of been really bad. Thank god it wasn't. I say that all the time I am on the road and say what if I didn't react fast enough. I don't want to even think about how close I have come to being in a serious accident sometimes

The most recent 'what if' scare I had was when I had the heart attack, what if's are very scary at a time like that!

Smack that!!!

I've been married to a con-artist for the past 13 years. What-ifs is my business.

When I was in other people house and locked inside it and dont have a key to open it and everyone is left me alone.

When I woke up yesterday morning and Shalawanda, my Snow Leopard , was licking her lips and kinda sneer/smiling at me .... what if I hadn't fed her well the day before.

I worry alot, I always think of the worst things can happen, even when i go over all the avidence and see that i couldnt happen, but i still worry
