[blparent] I'm distraught!

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I called and asked a sighted friend of mine to go and watch the light cycle. 
He said the way I described what I heard, I should have had the 
right-of-way, and the turning cars ought to have stopped.  So either I 
missed something I should have heard, or I was doing the crossing right and 
three cars didn't yield when they were supposed to.  I find it hard to 
imagine that three of them in a row did the wrong thing, so I must have made 
a mistake, but I'm not sure what it was.  My friend said cars are required 
to stop for pedestrians, period.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but it's a fairly small city, so I started having fears 
that someone I know would call my parents or my boyfriend and say what they 
saw, or some well-meaning stranger would call CPS and report the poor little 
endangered child walking with a blind chick who had a black guide dog--we 
don't blend real well, so that would narrow down the possibilities pretty 
darn quick.  So far, nothing, so maybe it's my own conscience, but I called 
my boyfriend just in case to let him know what happened.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

As you know Feb, 1st, my son and I were hit by a car leaving toys r us.
We had the right away, and the driver ran the stop light.
Although it was scary, we still go out.
I'm a little bit afraid to cross the street again, but I put my fears
aside, my faith in God, and continue on with what we call normal life.
You can do it!
