It was five years ago today that Dad was killed. It seems like yesterday, and a hundred forevers all at the same time. Much was lost and much has been learned. Where once I cried in mourning, now I cry angry tears, and I’m determined that we’ll win our fight for safety. That’s progress I suppose-from mourning to anger. Still, I wish I could have remained unwittingly ignorant.
I wish that he was still here.

I found this quote the other day, and it reminded me of you and your work trying to improve truck saftey on our roads.
Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

His death was senseless. It’s good that you’re not allowing it to be worthless!
My heart is with you, friend!

It’s a sad day – so sorry that you couldn’t have remained blissfully ignorant. We can only hope that some day something good will come out of your dad’s tragic death. Take care and we’ll be thinking about you.

I’m also sorry that you couldn’t remain ignorant – but your dad would be so proud of you and your work. I hope that is some kind of comfort in the midst of the sorrow.
I really wish you still had your parents, and I thank you for reminding me not to take mine for granted.
