I knew better.
I considered contacting her mother.
Más de una vez, me senté con una página en blanco frente a mí, tratando de encontrar palabras que no sonaran egoístas.
¿Qué podría decir?
¿Siento que mi hermana haya golpeado el coche de tu hija?
I’m sorry my mother tried to blame me?
Lamento que su familia haya sufrido mientras la mía discutía sobre quién debería asumir la responsabilidad.
Nada de eso se sentía adecuado.
Finalmente, escribí una carta corta.
No pedí perdón.
I didn’t ask for a response.
I simply expressed sorrow for what had happened to her daughter and gratitude that she had survived.
I explained that I had cooperated with the investigation and would continue to do so if needed.
Then I wished her family strength in the long recovery ahead.
I sent the letter through an appropriate channel and left the decision to read or answer it entirely with them.
