      Yeah, there’s also the confusion of not having literally seen or felt the kid being crushed, so chastising myself that it shouldn’t have been that traumatic. It took me years to accept that just hearing something can also be witnessing it.

        My bus hit some poor unhoused guy last year. That was a terrible thump. Thankfully all he got was a head laceration.

          I’m sorry and I’m glad he wasn’t majorly injured.
