I am so, so glad that the minor damage in the photo above is the worst of it.

My daughter has a certain fake cheerfulness I feel I can smell across the planet and she knows it. I don't think this will ever get any better or easier.<br />But: They call, they tell, they know we need to know and they want us to. <br /><br />I actually ran over a (very old) fox on my very first night out with my dad's car. I can still feel the thump. I never told my parents.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-16762992164589684982014-05-02T16:28:17.307-04:002014-05-02T16:28:17.307-04:00So glad he is safe and sound.

Deer are so hard to see at night and they often run across the roads, so your son might not have seen it if he were looking. My dad totaled his car hitting a deer and his biggest injury was the air bag flinging his hands into his face. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-41438661341871403592014-05-02T16:12:12.731-04:002014-05-02T16:12:12.731-04:00I have heard there are more deer now on this conti...I have heard there are more deer now on this continent than there were when the white guys got to it. And they are terribly dangerous on the road, especially at night. Yes, that could have gone so much worse.

It started with "First thing Mom, I'm all right." I knew it was going to be bad. Thankfully that army of angels was around him that night. I'm glad they were protecting your son. I'll say a prayer for his safe return.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.com
