Yes, of course he feels bad, but that doesn't change the fact that he was driving 126 mph. and caused a tragic accident. He was totally irresponsible in so many ways - driving too fast, not having his sirens and dash cam on, rushing to the scene of an accident that had already been secured, etc. I think I read (or heard) somewhere that this isn't the first time he was speeding and caused an accident - don't know if it's true or not... <BR/><BR/>I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I've been through something similar - my little brother was killed when he was 20 because his friend driving the car he was riding in decided to play "chicken" in a no-passing zone at the top of a hill. My brother was the only one killed. It took me a long time, but I had to forgive him because if I didn't, all of the hatred would have consumed me.<BR/><BR/>Your girls are absolutely beautiful, on the inside and the outside. I have been praying for you and your family since the accident.

When I read the report in the BND my first thought was that the trooper HAD to have been driving recklessly - even if he was cut off, blah blah blah - I believe they are trained in defensive driving for emergency situations and it just didn't seem possible that he could have been following any part of that. Not to mention, he was going to an accident that had already happened - so why the rush? It's not like he was an EMT that had to provide emergency services.<BR/><BR/>I've been harboring some pissed-off feelings about this, as I read the follow-up reports. When Dana linked to your blog I was astounded by your lack of animosity - it's great, don't get me wrong - your posts are a beautiful testiment to your girls and your feelings of loss. <BR/><BR/>I don't know that I could be so gracious, you know?<BR/><BR/>That is a beautiful photo. You and your girls are in my prayers.Nancy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772373803915294292noreply@blogger.com
