HWY 680 Jumper, I (along with many others) was delayed yesterday trying to make my way home from work. I couldn’t have explained to you how upset I was at you! But the reason why I’m righting you is to say I’m sorry, I’m sorry for all the pain you’re dealing with, I’m sorry for thinking that you were just a hindrance in my life and I’m sorry that for all the time I sat there in traffic I didn’t once have compassion for you.
I don’t know you or what led you to this point, but I want to let you know that I care about you! I know the struggles life has, you’er not in it alone. Hoping for the best!!!
