my brother was in a serious car accident last night, apparently. he is fine, thank god, but my nerves are somewhat shattered. i like to think of everyone as safe, no matter how many horrific plane crashes i envision for myself. the saab is totalled - a symbolic death more important to our joshua than to anyone else, i think.

(it is odd, to think of him being the subject of gossip at school, of possible newspaper articles, of cautionary tales.)

& oh. could this day be any more up-and-down. i want to go home and sleep. and maybe cry. maybe.

glad to hear he came out of relatively unscathed.

& i share yr sentiments, given my dad was that close as well a month or so back.

almost-death.

thanks.

sigh. maybe i was already tired, but this just makes me feel like a cranky two-year-old instead of a functional adult.

nothing wrong with getting jolted. plus, being a cranky is still better than being an adult who functions like a two year old.

especially where potty training is concerned.

during our freshman (? i think) year of college, one of my roommate's friends from home was killed in a car accident. everyone was just numb - no one could believe it.

somehow when i started writing this comment that story seemed related, but now not so much.

i'm very glad your brother is okay. (hug)

so sorry, jesse. I can imagine how shaken you must've been (and probably still are).

thank you, sarah. it is a scary thing. i am just so thankful he is okay, and that there were no passengers (the passenger side is all but obliterated). i like to pretend i'm so fatalistic about everything but i'm not when it comes to my FAMILY, damnit.

xo.

I know, I know. you think, well, it's my family; they've got to stay safe. it's an irrational belief, but what can do you when you love people that much?
