My son was in an accident...

Yesterday afternoon my son Larry Jr. was returning some videos to the movie place.  On the way there he was involved in a car accident.  Our vehicle was struck by another car that ran a red light.   It was pretty scary thinking about all that has happened recently.  We don't have a vehicle to drive until it gets repaired.  Or if it gets totaled out.  We don't know yet.  My son says he is never going to drive again.  He is that shook up.  The other driver was an elderly woman.  It was the first accident for both of them. Luckily  neither was hurt badly.  Larry has bruising on his shoulder.  The woman says she will be sore for a few days. Who knows maybe she is worse today.  Apparently she can't see well either.  Larry thinks she may be in her 70's.  It might be time for her to surrender her drivers license.  I just had a hell of  a weekend.  Now I have to go and get a car rental for the week to get to work.   Starting my week off late to work already and I didn't even get there. 
Thank goodness my son is ok.

I haven't checked in on you in a while, but I'm glad you're still writing, still keeping the blog going. My thoughts are with you. I saw your posts from few days ago, and you're right; it's hard to know what to say sometimes to you, and to my upstairs neighbor. I know she hurts (it's been three months, today, actually) and I know some days are really really bad for her. She too, is overwhelmed by the paperwork. And sending out Christmas cards to people who don't yet know that Mr. Kip is gone. And all I can say to her sometimes is "Just keep moving, one step at a time". I feel inadequate telling her, and you, that I am continually sorry that you miss him, and I could try to fill that empty space with words... but I know that the words could never fill that space. That void exists. It Is. But I feel it's emptiness for her, and for you.

I will say to you, like I say to her sometimes... just keep moving, one step at a time. And know that his spirit IS there with you. Of that I'm certain.
