On January 9, Kim and all three kids were victims of an ignored red light. All are OK; Kim and Ana were bruised, Ruthie bit a piece off her tongue, and Nathaniel's pacifier somehow cut him. And while the physical scars will heal, the psychological damage is there.
At 17 months, Nathaniel is not affected. But for the last few days, Ruthie (2½) has been afraid to ride in the car, as these videos show.
Ana (almost 8) has been stoic, but her façade is starting to crack if today's post is any indication.
Kim has suggested that Ana write out her feelings. Although Kim posted the pictures in her entry, I'll repost here (spelling corrected):
I. After the accident, I felt worried because I thought mommy would cry. When mommy was hurt and I called 911, I was scared until the doctors said we were all OK. Right after the accident I felt scared because I thought we would die. I also felt shy because I did not want to talk to the police.
II. I am still angry because it was his fault, and at Jesus because he allowed it to happen.
It's sad to hear this. Normally, Ruthie is full of smiles and Ana is full of energy. This accident has just sapped it out of the girls, and I don't like it.
