March 7, 2007

Today is the first day in a very long time that I felt happy, sort of. I was called by the state of Texas and was told that the man who killed my husband, by his wreckless driving, was finally arrested. The case went before the grand jury last week, and he was formally charged with criminally negligent homicide. He will be going to court sometime in the near future, and I'll get to face him and get the chance to tell him how his actions have affected our lives.

Of course, it still wasn't a purely happy moment. But it was the first time in 4 months that I felt like I could breathe.

When I found out I didn't know who to call and tell first. So I told Camryn. I told her that the man who hit daddy was arrested by the police and taken to jail. Her face lit up immediately, and her smile reached from ear to ear! She's been asking me for months if the man who killed her daddy was in jail and she was never satisfied with my answer. Well, she was today! We'll never have Joe back and I'll never be abe to forgive him for that. But at least I know that now he realizes what he has done. I can't wait for the day I get to see him in court.
