Pissed and heartbroke

I ran over a cat on the way in to work tonight. I'm so upset, and so pissed I couldn't stop in time. I hope it didn't belong to some family....

to let their cats roam freely.

I got into a fight with some family members over this recently, and I'm still steamed.

Sometimes you just can’t avoid it. My dad, a big pet lover, taught me to never cause an accident trying to avoid a small animal that runs in front of you. But, it still feels bad.

You'll work through the sorrow. That you feel it so intensely is a sign of what sort of man you are.

That you share it with us is a gift. I hope the load lightens soon.

It was an accident. Sometimes there is nothing you can do to avoid an accident. This happened to me and I felt terrible, even though it happened instantly and there was no way I could have prevented it.
