In Memoriam

This is not a page I thought I'd be making. On December 4, 2000 my mom was hit by a car while crossing the street. She died of her injuries in the ICU two days later.

Memorials are for the ones left behind. The ones who can't forget the sights and sounds of the emergency room and ICU. The ones who see the accident over and over in nightmares. The ones who are left to try to make some sense out of senselessness. We all deal with it in our own way.

She was walking with her friend, who was also hit but only sustained a minor knee injury. The legal system wants to call it an accident. The driver claimed not to have seen two pedestrians under a street light, one of whom was wearing light colored clothing.

Maybe the only "justice" is cosmic justice. Maybe the best we can hope for is healing....
