[blparent] I'm very sad today

[trishs]

V., I'm sorry for your loss.
 I wanted to share that the only time I've ever been hit by a car 
is the one time I allowed someone else to judge traffic for me.

>A person i know was killed on Wednesday evening.  He was blind 
and for some reason he chose not to cross at the light on a very 
busy street.  Someone told him they would tell him when it was 
safe to cross and since he isn't here to tell us what exactly 
they said, we don't know what was really said.  The person said, 
"I told him don't go." and Eric stepped off the curb and was hit 
by a car and now he's gone.  he was 43 and not a good traveler.  
He was told many times to get cane travel instruction, but he 
thought he could do it without.
