OK so maybe I should not be blaming Virginia. In Vegas I would occasionally see road kill, but to no degree of what I see in VA. I suspect it is the same through out the more densely populated East Coast.
But I have tried so hard to drive slowly on the more "country" roads. The idea of being the cause of something which daily grinds against my emotional sanity has always lurked in the back of my mind.
Tonight I lost that battle when I killed a raccoon confused by the oncoming lights of my car. I tried to swerve behind him, but blinded by the headlights he made a last minute decision to retreat as opposed to continuing to the other side.
I am so so sorry little one, and I know that makes no difference.
