Comment by jeannie staunton on December 22, 2010 at 5:01pm: Hey all... I lost my first lover in a car accident.. I was driving...altho this was many years ago, it never totally goes away.. i still fondly remember her and what we had been to each other... We were taking our first vacation together.. going to spend 5 days in P-Town-.. we lived in upstate New York... we both worked the 3-11 shift, so after we had gotten out of work, we finished packing the car and took off... we did everything like we should.. alternate driving. she had her pepsi, i had my coffee... taking breaks as needed... about 6 am i was driving, she, sleeping... i felt myself starting to nod off and thought i'd better find a place to stop and both nap for a bit... we were by the Sturbridge exit on the mass pike... the next think i knew.. we were under the back of an 18 wheeler... i had fallen asleep... i was fine.. minor injuries, she wasn't... the corner of the trailer had come through the windshield and had crushed the side of her head... she was rushed to U Mass Medical, made it through surgery, but passed shortly afterwards... the loos and guilt i felt was unreal.. and i was also charged with vehicular man slaughter.. luckly i had a good lawyer, provided by the gay community up there.. and a sympathetic judge.. was given a suspended sentence and community service.. after that was completed, my record was cleared... i have learned over the years to deal with the pain and guilt.. but it never is completly gone... i feel that for what ever reason, it was time for her to " go home".. it wasn't my time.. that i had more to accomplish... so here i am...

i joined this group, because i have been there and do understand what's it's like to lost your lover, your friend...and if i can help others, am here..

take care all..

hugssssssssss.. Jeannie
