7 years, 4.28.24

7 years ago yesterday, i got into an accident with bagel in the backseat of the camry on our way to reedy creek. that was the end of the camborghini as we knew it, smh. i remember the guy driving off, then getting out, and talking to a bystander who was walking to family dollar to get his groceries. while waiting for the cops, the bystander came back and brought me a water bottle. that gesture has stuck with me through all these years. in fact, i never drank the water bottle. i kept it unopened and put it on display along with figures at the time. i still have the water bottle unopened. it’s in the basement and to this day, it still serves as a reminder of kindness and appreciation.
