Reading the response letter was very difficult, I am beside myself with awe at the display of maturity and compassion here.

You are truly courageous, lurkette, for first having shared this with us. To talk about it openly, even the stronger- but your outreach to the other driver has given me intense tears... not only have you stood up to the pain of loss, but you have thought of others before yourself. I put others before myself at all times, but I can honestly say I doubt my will is anywhere near as strong as yours. You are an inspiration to all who strive to achieve the ability to forgive. If I were the other driver, it would have taken a lot longer than a month for me to get myself together to write you. His resolve is wonderful, his compassion is clearly to be seen and as genuine as his pain.

You two have shown us all that it can be done.

My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. The magnitude of your loss is great, but your depth of character is far greater. Thank you so much, for being you.
