wasn't meant to be

I know LJ is a venting tool for people to exaggerate miniscule problems. I understand that what people write glorifies them in a way and hides the truth. But right now I don't care. I always thought after the trauma of losing my brother, that i'd never really be able to experience tears again. Sure, I've had issues with Kate, School, Best friends, ( Read more... )

I know how awful it feels to hit a dog...and I also know how much "It wasn't your fault" doesn't help. You'll feel better in a day or two. The dog I hit ran away, and I had to help this poor, old, grandmotherly lady and her husband look for it. It was horrible.

I hit a turtle because it was either the turtle, swerving in to Kim (who had swerved to miss the turtle), or slamming into the concrete of the overpass and possibly crashing through it and falling the 50+ feet to the ground. I hope the turtle was ok and only went on a bouncy ride. Hopefully the dog will be ok too.

awww...i remember the turtle...there wasn't any turtle on the bumper, so i'm thinking the lil guy just sucked all it's legs and head in to the shell and just spun around like a Mario turtle...i hope...

*really big hug*

Shit happens. You've got such a big heart, Jake. I dont want to give you all that crap about "be thankful you werent hurt" because although it's true, its trite and frankly if I were in your situation, I would probably rip off anyone's head who even tried to tell me something like blah blah blah bad things happen so that worse things don't....

But what I'm trying to get across is its ok to be upset. Its ok not to "feel better" tonight or tomorrow or next week or ever. Because what happened really sucks.

Anyway, we're all here for you. And I'll pray for the dog.

I'm sorry dude. I often wonder about God's higher purpose when things like that happen. Senseless things. Just brings a tear to my eye, as your post did. Ask Kate, I have a huge soft spot for dogs.

Just try and take it easy. Don't let it be on your concience.
