Well, as expected, I read through the police report a few more times last night. I guess my theory could still stand even with the information about that car getting out of your way. If you were starting to drift over the center line for whatever reason, it was still only a matter of seconds the other car said between when he moved over to get out of your way and when you hit the truck. The way I read it initially, it sounded like you had been in the wrong lane for longer, which made me wonder.
It's weird-Dad was getting mad about some of the witness accounts, like the guy at Tippins'. He was saying that there was no shoulder for him to pull over on in the area he was speaking of. I don't know why he takes some things personally (like everyone's out to get home or screw him over) like that or doesn't believe someone's account. He was also upset when he heard about Carter's friend's dad being behind you in the accident. Another witness said the first car behind you left the scene, so I don't know if this kid's dad was that guy. The kid's dad said he saw the helicopters come though, so it must have been a little while after the actual collision. We will have to see. Dad says he's mad because people should stay at the scene of an accident. People have different reactions though. I honestly don't understand though how someone could have physically left the scene and got around both of the vehicles. Whoever it was, they must have seen you drift or the other car who swerved out of your lane or something. We will have to see what comes of that.
For some reason, today was a decent day despite it being the 5-month anniversary of the date of your death. The actual date shouldn't matter I guess because it hurts every day, but I guess just the marking of another month is sad. I got a nice text from Jaime this morning with a video of a Danny Gokee song which helped me get going this morning, and people posted some of your videos, like Kaisa posted your "You Make My Dreams Come True" video for her mother-in-law to watch and Dad posted your "City Walk" video. Ethan posted something nice about when you guys would have Tru Moo and Subway after Captains' Practices and then go back to his house and watch SpongeBob and nap. I wonder if people did this because of the date or if it's just a coincidence. Maybe both. You are remembered and loved. Always.
We also received a nice note from Drew Nelson from church today. I didn't know he played water polo. He said he wished he talked more to you about it. My friend Tracey sent her weekly card/note. Tonight I'm going to dinner with my friend Margi for Thai food. Tonight Rache is coming over to tutor Carter for a math test he has tomorrow. It helps to keep busy and have something to do each night. Nance asked about coming over for a visit tonight, but the house is torn up from the drywall/painting so I told her we should wait until next week. That works for me, because the few times I have gone out to dinner with Margi, I always have to get home by a certain time to see someone-usually it's Nance but one time I squeezed in a visit with Jeanette Brenner. Tonight I want to get the office cleaning out of the way since the weekend will be busy, so that will give some time for that. (Boring!)
Been busy trying to get Carter's bday party together for Sunday. It's turning into a bigger affair than I planned because it started out as a friend party and then we opened it up to friends and family to stop in and say hi and have some cake. Now some water polo families are asking about it. There's plenty of room there and we should have plenty of food but I don't want to get caught up with the adults because I want to be available for the kids. We're having it at 5th corner. Should be nice.
I guess that's it for now. Love you boy! 5 months since I saw you, but one day closer to seeing you again! Praise God for that!
