We were in an accident in 2005 but it was icy poorly kept roads that did us in, not a careless drunk driver. So sorry you did not get a chance to talk to this man. Sometimes it's hard to speak your mind even when you know you have the right. Hopefully you can gain solace from the fact that IF he did not learn his lesson he is no longer able to hurt anyone else any more.Lucero De La Tierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813673309203100156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663665127069906391.post-37911659611895993442014-01-03T14:08:51.996-08:002014-01-03T14:08:51.996-08:00I didn't know about this part of your journey....I didn't know about this part of your journey...hugs to you as you deal with the accident, the memories and being able/not able to have closure...I know what you mean...closure of some things is so necessary. I did find that I could get closure on a couple of major events in my life without having any type of relationship with the person involved...it was a lot of hard work...but with the help of my hubby, my counselor, my doctor, my pastor and God I am now on the other side of that issue. If you want to chat further let me know.

Our society now applauds those who make wise choices in that regard, and to have a "DD" for example. As far as his involvement in the "Japanese-American community" perhaps it was after you moved, I am uncertain. As far as closure, you're correct they are about us. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer with some things than others to truly 'let go' and 'move on' -- I guess that is why I felt compelled to write this. I hope that in doing so it will not only help me (which it has) but will help others who may be struggling with parallel experiences. ~ Thank you much for commenting; much appreciated. <3NomadicJestershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353381880877976962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663665127069906391.post-52196443078574707722014-01-02T22:47:09.032-08:002014-01-02T22:47:09.032-08:00Sending you love.

I don't understand people who drink and drive (since I don't even drink much, and if I do, I only have a sip or two at home). I had a friend who had too much to drink and insisted on driving home. She couldn't even find her car door! I 'stole' her keys and drove her home forcefully. I'd never met the priest. So strange because in the news it said he worked with the "Japanese-American community" in Eureka. Really? There's such a community and I didn't even know about it?! well, I'm so sorry for your experience but praise God y'all were ok! and I'm sorry you won't have the closure you were seeking. But really, closures are about us aren't they? To quote the greatest movie of all time, we need to "get used to disappointments."

It seems to me like you have taken the higher road here. I am grateful to have a friend such as you and grateful that you were blessed with relative safety that night. It could have been so much worse and in the end we can only be accountable for our actions, thoughts and prayers. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921397694353440032noreply@blogger.com
