An Open Letter

This is an open letter to he or she who hit us last night and then ran off. So if by some miracle you read this, this is all i have to say to you. Ok, so how do i begin this? first, if your conscience is bothering you we are all ok. although you gave my 6 month old son the biggest startle of his young life as you hit the back panel and went flying by the window he was sitting next too. second, i'm sure you feel like you had a great reason for running after you hit us, and im sure you sat around last night with your friends telling them how because some moron was stopped on the freeway you heroically had to swerve to save your life. albeit that this was your fault and that you were going way over the posted 45 mph limit when you torn into the back panel on the passenger side of my car. i need to apologize to you. once i checked to see if my son was ok, i started thinking about what if you had hit us a little more head on, what if he had been hurt, what if you had stopped. what would i do to you. i have to apologize because i killed you in my heart a few times before i realized, that this what if scenario hadn't actually happened. that God had protected my family, because inches to the left and we would have been in serious trouble. i realized i was justifying what i would say when the cop showed up, "my son was injured and i lost it, i couldn't control myself, it was done in the heat of the moment." it doesn't matter what my justification is or would be. i am called to a higher standard. and for failing to live up to that standard i apologize. please forgive me. don't worry i have forgiven you too and if we ever meet up, i'd love to sit down and talk with you over a meal or a cup of coffee and hear how what happened that night just west of queen creek on the 10, has impacted your life.
