Progress

When I was at the park with Cookie last night, I saw another dog owner friend, M, I hadn't seen for a couple weeks. Turns out she had been in a car accident a couple days before. Some woman didn't see the stoplight where everyone was stopped and plowed into M which sent her into the car in front of her. Her car was accordioned. She walked away and will be o.k. Very lucky.

As I got home, I realized it was the first time in over 3 years that I heard about/talked about an accident where I wasn't brought back to or thought of Jack's accident. Wow! That's huge! After realizing, it felt really good that I was able to be with her in the moment, listening to her story and not turning it into mine in my head and heart.

I think they call that progress.
