This deserves it's own post.

In my inbox:

'The person killed is my sister. The person airlifted is my mom. My mom is still in ICU in Wyoming. It is still touch and go. The stretch of road in Thermopolis is lined with crosses.

It is a narrow, uneven stretch of road. It is not a regular stretch of road. It was a freak accident that is sad all around. I am just devastated by it all, most devastating is that my sister was a generous, kind person who treated others well and volunteered for many charities.

She doesn't deserve to be remembered by glib little comments made by folks who do not know the whole story! How about finding out about a person before you post something.

She did not leave an email address for a response, so this is it. While I chalk up her reaction to the post as a result of her loss, and feel sorry for the incident and its effects, she totally misread my post.

I was not being 'glib'. I merely stated a fact that indeed, our Driver's Ed class told us to NOT brake, or swerve, for small animals because they can cause fatal accidents. I even commented that the incident was 'sad'. In fact, that's the only reason why I posted that article in the first place.

I hardly think I was being 'glib', and I can be glib, believe me.
