45mph, that's... 72kph... Wow you are really lucky. And yes, as you just said, everyone around you was lucky, if anyone else was hit there could be a real tragedy, if a kid was hit I doubt he/she would survive... And you're also lucky you are still fully conscious and normally behaving... And as Yoda here said, yes you deserve to be around... Can't say that about the driver though... Even though he did have the freaking decency of stoping and didn't do a hit and run.
