The Unexpected Happended and I Saw It..

Today was like any other. Left to work too early in the morning as I usually do. Tired with the everyday struggles of our lives, something that I have been becoming very used to now. Today was not a good day. I left work to get get breakfast as usual. Today for some reason I didn't drive on the freeway, I took the feeder road. What was ahead came as a shock to me. I saw an 8 year old boy, lying in a pool of his blood. Imobile and fragile, my emotions have overwhelmed me. I watch his mother and kneeling byside him, looking down at him, unable to help him. I felt helpless too. I called 911 since there wasn't an emergency vehicle. People behind me were honking, unkowing at what was ahead of them. I drove to my destiniation trembling and crying. I thought of my own daughter. I called my husband because I was so terrified at what I had witnessed. I still am and the day is only half done.
I don't know how to keep the image out of my mind nor the how to rid the emotions that are physically making me ill.
