If Matters Couldn't Get Any Worse


Monday Lindsey had a set back...this was due to the fact that we found out the woman that hit her head-on worked at her very own college, PNC. We spoke to a friend that works at the school and she confirmed this to be true. So not only was she to grieve (she thought in silence) throughout the day at school but now she felt as though others might judge her. Even though Lindsey knows 100% this was not her fault, you never know what is going to come out of others mouths when they are learning for the first time of such an accident. So yesterday morning she had our friend Mary take her straight to a grief counselor, and though I never asked Lindsey what their conversation was about, I believe they helped her deal with the day. Today she went to B-Dubs and worked a 6 hour shift and said she felt pretty good without her muscle relaxers or vicodin. After her shift was over, Norman and I went up to have dinner with her, then she rode with me to the funeral home. Jodi's (the deceased woman) husband knew Lindsey as soon as he saw her standing in a group of people. He came over, once again telling her he was soooo sorry that Lindsey was a part of any thing that had gone on. Many tears were shed, comforting one another and no hard feelings between anyone... I am proud of Lindsey for feeling the need to attend Mrs James' wake, and now hopefully her healing process can begin.... I love you Lindsey
