Dear Driver,

After almost 15 years now, I still think about you. Who you where or what you did for living.

I wonder why you didn´t stop to help my parents, the couple that you hit with your car. After the accident they where never the same. My mom got very sensitive and my dad started to get mad to her because she didn´t have the same patience as before. To tell you the truth, she doesnt has any patience at all. They almost got divorced because of this. They also lost all their friends because of their sudden change of attitude towards life.The accident changed their lives. You changed their lives.

So far, I don´t want to learn how to drive in fear of doing the same to a couple, in fear that I would do the same to a child, like you did to me.

I lost my parents that day, they were never the same. I love them and trust them now, but we are so different. They dont care about what do I do, or the things I like. They really don´t care about my girlfriend who I chose to be my future wife. I don´t know how to overcome this barrier. I really wish for a more closer relationship with them.

I still don´t know if you stopping would really make a difference. I also don´t know if all this problems would go away if past somehow changes.

But still, I managed to learn the things that are really important, like family, friendship, respect and love. I guess I have to thank you for that, because even when I love my parents, I think they are very arrogant and they take any moment to make a person feel really bad. I don’t know if its because of the accident or they have been like this all along.

I blame you and you take all the burden, but really I thank you so much because is only by blaming you and the accident that I have learn to respect those who are different to me. I have learn to be humble with others. And I have learn to love without waiting for a comeback.

Sincerely
Adrian, age 24
