No matter how I say it, it somehow still doesn't feel real, and yet no matter how I say it, it's still my reality.
Your reality is very real to many people Kristine. I, like you still can't fully grasp the fact that it is real. The reasons for me are that the tragic and instantaneous passing has left more questions than answers. In many reported traffic accidents we know many things. In our reality we don't know the why's and that's what makes it hard for me to get my head around it.
