i ran over a racoon on the way home tonight...........and i cant stop crying. i pulled over and picked it up and went and buried it and then sat in the middle of the field for a half an hour or so and cried on my back watching the clouds wash back and forth against the starless sky of slate. i tried to swerve and i skimmed a try just barely, didnt

i'm so sorry drew. i know exactly how you feel. last year, my mother and i hit a deer. and i couldn't stop crying or shivering for hours. i just kept seeing the deer....it was awful. i didn't sleep for like a week. i'm so sorry that had to happen to you. its a terrible feeling.

I'm sorry darling. I'm sorry. I know that that's awful. But you can't think you're a horrible person because of it. You're a wonderful person.

...And I type and erase and I don't know how to say it. I'm sorry. You are amazing. I love you.

it wasn't a person... it was only a raccoon. try not to beat yourself up about it. you ate a cow today. it died. someone killed it for you to eat it. if you are going to cry about accidentally killing an animal, then maybe you should cry a little harder for the people who do it on purpose so other people can be satisfied. i'm sorry you felt bad, but there are much worse matters in this world than that. cry for those. cry because half the world has forgotten God. cry because hundreds of people have no where to live after these hurricanes blew through these past couple months. cry because AIDS and world hunger are devastating the planet. cry because 1 person dies every 13 seconds from lung cancer and/or other tobacco-related diseases. cry because there is no cure for cancer. cry because a few weeks ago, thousands of innocent small children died in a schoolhouse in russia due to an act of terrorism. don't waste your tears drew, they are too precious.

you think i dont know that there are things much worse than that? do you honestly think that i see the world as a place that is without suffering. i know it is.

my tears are for everyone.

I'll be a vegetarian for you.

And I love you.

And I hope other people see how amazing you are. And I get really sad when I see dead squirrels on the road and stuff. So I know where you're coming from.

And I miss you!
