Open wound

[datahawk]

I thought I'd begun to heal. I thought the pain had started to subside. Instead, I'm reminded that the wound is still there. The pain at the loss of a friend who will no longer be there. The reminder that someone made a very tragic mistake, taking a life and destroying his own. I may forgive him one day, that day will not be any time soon.

The wound will be there for a very long time to come. It will get better over time, but it will always ache at least a little bit.

When you can, work on forgiveness for the driver (but never forget). This is not for the benefit of that driver that wrecked far more than 2 lives, but for yourself to be able to move on and live the kind of life that would honor your friend.

I know I can and will forgive this man one day, I'm just not ready for it yet. When it was still possible that it was just a very traggic accident, I was having a better time dealing with it. Knowing this guy made this traggic mistake that took a life and ruined his own... just much harder to forgive as quickly. Pat would have wanted it, wouldn't have wanted us to hate this guy...
