A most unfortunate accident occurred this week.
Fortunately, her classes are finished for the year. With only three exams left, she can borrow our car.
In time, she can plan for next year.
The car has been so important for her this year, so it is quite a loss, practically and emotionally. Living outside of a city almost necessitates having a car, but there are cars in the family, and I am here to give her rides to work, when necessary, as I do with Jonathan.
She said yesterday when I dropped her off that she felt like she was about to have to chop vegetables all, for that was her first job. I would pick her up at about 6 on a Sunday morning to take her to her job in the salad bar at the grocery store.
I sent her this quote this morning after reading it in another blog. Maybe it will help her from being too distraught, but it is quite a loss for the poor kid.
at the time. 
She feels a loss of independence. I'm sorry for her. I take it that Jonathan is ok?
ReplyDeleteYes, I should have said. He's fine physically but I am sure somewhat bruised emotionally.
DeleteFortunately, I have never been in a similar situation as I have always been able to drive away from the scene. But I have understood the loss of independence of not having a vehicle and needing one. Fortunately they have family nearby to help them through this period of transition.
ReplyDeleteThis will be hard on both the kids. it is good that he is alright as the car looks like it was a big collision.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's tough. Life can be such a pain in the keester sometimes. Glad Jonathan wasn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteOh NO! I'm so sorry, it's a huge inconvenience. I am glad everyone is OK - that's more important than the hunk of metal.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh. Looks bad so I'm glad everyone is so OK.
