In 2018 I was young and dumb, on my way with a friend to do something stupid, won’t go further with the details because I’m not trying to self-incriminate. We took the 407 since we were in a rush to get there, but then the entire highway shut down, an oil tanker had crashed just before the exit I was planning to take. People were turning their cars on the highway and exiting through the entrance ramps, that’s how bad it was. Traffic was out of control, there was no possible way we could have arrived on time, which we realized in hindsight likely saved both of our lives.

I have never been religious, but I have zero doubt in my mind that someone was watching over me that day.
