hit n run, or stop and see

Tonight whilst driving home with my wife and kids, I hit a dog in the road. I saw it at the last minute, it was my fault.

Just after I ran over the dag I stopped the car by the roadside. Everyone asked me what I was doing, I said I needed to think. Sure I wanted to see if the dog was ok, and to check that there was nothing i could do for the poor thing..

In my rear view mirror I could see a man picking up the dog off the road and taking it to the side, I knew she was dead. I had a terrible feeling because at the time I was flicking through songs on my ipod. It was my fault.

A lesson to learn, recently my wife has been on at me for my driving, usually I am the best of drivers, but recently i have been rushing.. If that dog had been a small child, an old man..

When we arrived home there had been a storm on the farm, the four chicks I had bought last week for the children had been left out, I am currently nursing two of them back to health at this moment in time having had given one of them the kiss of life, just one perished, left out to die in the cold wind and the rain..

Lessons, every one of them

There was an article in the newspaper today about a man that had found out about things choosing their own fate, that each one of us choose our own destiny, mapped out before we are born. I only hope that is the case for the two life's that were lost today at my hand..

Sorry guys..
