It wasn't the old Subaru you helped her buy. It was my old car, a 92 Honda Accord, and that is a safe car. The tragedy was caused by someone crossing the line and hitting her head on at probably a high speed. I just read this blog today for the first time and your comment has been there for a while so I hope you see this and feel better. We all miss her so much. From Ann, Vi's Mom Brett, please rest easy.

I know it wasn't I am just awe struck and sad and sometimes the easiest thing to do is put blame on yourself. I just miss her and wish i could have seen her one more time. This all just caught me by surprise. Even with the month or so I knew her it felt like a lifetime. To me and many others she will be sorely missed. If you know her Mom and Sister who I met briefly send my best. She will always have a place in my heart. Thanks Ida, it’s just hard to think something my be your fault.

Thanks for posting. It's so tempting to take responsibility somehow, because then we can imagine how we could have made it different. Grief drags us through terrible mind games. Go easy on yourself. My condolences. Oh, Brett… Thanks for posting. It’s so tempting to take responsibility somehow, because then we can imagine how we could have made it different.

I am not too keen on Tolstoy's terminology of "natural" and "unnatural." It makes them sound counterintuitive. Though the charged examples will have these two kinds of ritual at odds, I feel like there must be a give and take, right? Good luck delineating the distinctions. Quite a task you have on your hands!

I feel bad enough helping her buy that old car. I feel like if I got her something more sturdy or large she might be alive today. I miss her tons I wish I could have spoke to her one more time just wished her a happy new year. This breaks my heart. I will miss her dearly.
