So I love my mother...

Today is the anniversary of my car accident in 1991.

I was out with my boyfriend, David Joseph Willis aka DJ, and we had been on his scooter riding around town all day as he had recently purchased it to save on millage on his '65 Mustang. We went home and were bored, but then decided to go rent some movies. He wanted to take the scooter and I said okay. We went the 5 miles to the video place rented Pacific Heights and American Dreamer. On the way home we were hit by a car. I was thrown off the scooter and he was under the scooter. The car turned off it's lights and drove away. We were fortunate as it happened right near the local fire station. We were both rushed to UCD Medical Center. I went into surgery as I had broken my leg from my knee to my ankle. He went into ICU(I was never told all that was wrong with him). My mother and family were called that night and told not to worry, I just broke my leg and they could come in the morning, which they did with crutches in hand. Surprise! I was still in surgery at 10 am from the night before. I got out around 2 pm and my mother was not a happy camper to be nice. I left the hospital after a week. DJ was there 2 weeks total, and passed away. I knew when it happened on the 27th around 11pm. I was told the next day by my mom as she got a call at 6 am but she waited to tell me later in the day. It was odd.
Now I had forgotten it was today, but my mom called me. She reminded me. I knew my day was off today, but didn't think to much of it until her call. It made sense. Again I love my mom, but part of me wished I could have remained forgetful.

I don't remember you ever telling me about this.
sorry about all that- its a horrible thing to go through.

I don't really talk about it. I don't really recall the accident itself. Before and after(like in the hospital after) but the accident itself and the ride to the hospital is gone. I just recall them asking me my name and parents phone # and me telling them but telling them not to call. And I still have never seen Pacific Heights to this day.

Hugs sweetie. It was 15 years ago. But thanks.

Yes and he was never found. That is the worst for DJ's family. They will never know who is responsible for his death. But Karama sucks so we can only hope this person is rewarded for their actions.

Hugs sweetie. Life is just like that some times. Full of tragedy and joy. We just have to celebrate and moun and hold on for the ride. It is never boring if you except the good and the bad. You can't have one without the other. To quote a favorite song from Into the Woods:
"Oh, if life were made of moments,
Even now and then a bad one--!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.
Hugs to you and your friend

Big Hugs to you...

Big hugs to you as well. I think we both know how hard it is to raise above the sorrow, but we both are strong women and stronger for it.

Love you!
And your cloth dying rocked at Valhalla!
