The Shadow
Dear Editor,
On Friday, May 15, it was a sad evening for my two nieces — age 9 and 12, my dear mother, sister, a couple of neighbors and myself.
My mother/father live on Rich Patch Road in the 9700 block. My mother had just gotten home and walks up to let her baby, a Yorkie Maltese named Bobo, use the bathroom.
Well, the little thing happened to see a cat and he runs into the middle of road. Of course, we go to get him, and as he turns to come back to my dear hurting mother, a white Jeep comes flying down the road, doing every bit of 60 to 70 mph.
He did not even have a chance. His poor little body flew up in the air and hit the pavement. This cowardly person driving what I would say a 2013-16 white Jeep with black trim did not even brake, stop or come back to at least see what they had hit.
Nope, he lay on the pavement with my nieces seeing this happen, and my poor hurting mother screaming, “My baby; they just hit my baby.”
All of them crying and this person didn’t even have the common decency to even come back or stop just to apologize.
So to the coward driving that so ole fast Jeep that really put a family in hurt and pain: Thank you; thank you for not killing a kid. Thank you for being the coward you are; thank you for the hurt you have caused my family, especially my nieces and my sad mother.
Thank you for driving so fast on a road where many houses are right off to the side of the road and have children that play in their yards. Just thank you so much for all the tears they are enduring and continue to endure.
I loved that little dog, but they loved him more. I just hope whatever you were so vastly speeding to was really important.
Sincerely
Audrey Hyler
Commercial Ave.
