Twelve years ago today...

... my partner (to whom I was engaged, but no date had been set) was killed by a drunk driver. He was 41 years old and had just completed his doctorate program.  The man who killed him, the man who was drunk enough to drive through a very wide highway "median" and plow into our car, served only 18 months in prison despite having a previous DUI on his driving record.

I was already missing Khan, so today I am extra sad.  

Fortunately, I am still a bit queasy from whatever bug I picked up earlier this week, so I don't have the urge to eat to soothe the pain.

I will say a prayer for you, sometimes life doesn't seem fair.  I am sorry about your loss. 

I seen on one of your post where you said if you get more protein in you can jumpstart weight loss again?

Sometimes increasing protein and decreasing carbs can get the scale moving again, but sometimes you just have to wait out a stall.

Sorry for how your feeling today.  I understand your pain sort of.  Parents of a friend of mine were killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way....he served.....weekends in jail.  It isn't fair that their life is on hold for their sentence and yours is forever.  You don't need that food to soothe the pain, because the pain will be there later.  Your in my thoughts.

Hugs Lora. I read your post about Khan but wasn't sure what to say that hadn't already been said.

Just know we love you. 'Specially me

Thinking of you today.

oh, I'm so sorry. I hope that you are as gentle with yourself as you are with us when we are hurting.

 I feel for you. My brother's wife was killed by a drunk driver in 1972.  She was only 23.  The drunk driver
pulled my brother out of the car and started hitting him and it was devastating.  Back then the laws were terrible and he never did jail time. The pain of the accident left my parents and family torn. It will be 40 years this year and at times it's like yesterday  I am so surprised that is all that animal got for killing your loved one. Here in California it's now 2ND degree murder and you are going away.  My heart goes out to your losses and missing your dog.  That in itself is major grief.  I have no words except please accept my sympathy.  Jane

 Justice for drunk drivers would be nice. I don't understand our country's attitude toward vehicular homicide.

Anniversaries of losses are hard. My warmest thoughts go out to you.
