When my sister died because of me.

@Cigarguy101 Please be kind to yourself. Though you feel otherwise, I like to believe it's was your fault.

@Renkon I was having a horrible day at school and my tourette issues where very bad. I wasn't allowed to ride the bus and my parents had to come pick me up, mean my sister had to walk home. My school was to far for me to walk. It was raining and pretty dark. She was hit by a car and killed instantly. My parents have never forgave me for this. They always told me they wished it had been me instead of her.

@Cigarguy101I may not fully understand what you’re going through. What happened was a tragic accident, but it wasn’t your fault. You didn’t choose your situation, and you didn’t choose that outcome. When your parents lost a child, you lost a sister — and you’re carrying your own grief. Please don’t carry the weight of others’ pain on top of your own. You deserve peace, just as much as anyone else. Take care, brother.

@Renkon thank you and I'm trying to find peace. But I have those days, those dark thoughts if I could of controlled my self and just got on the bus, or walked home even though the school guards wouldn't let me leave, she'd still be here. Ugh it's a rainy day here it always brings up painful memories.
