How does one live with oneself when they pass a man laying on the side of the highway and don't stop to help? Driving back to my housing tonight at 11:00 p.m. alone, I saw a man laying on the side of the highway. Horrible sight........horrible feeling........ I quickly dialed 911 to report it and was told that someone else had also reported it and that a police car had been dispatched. My mind raced........do I go back........I didn't see any blood.......if he is drunk and I go back and disturb him, will he get up and stagger out onto the highway?........if he does, what will I do?.......I'm alone, what would my husband want me to do?........I promised him I would make wise decisions...........What would God want me to do? Please forgive me God, I kept going.............please forgive me........... As I write this, it takes everything I have in me to keep myself from going back to see...........please forgive me, God, please forgive me! Working on the rez has hardened me............I'm not the same person I used to be...........there was a time I would have stopped, no matter what..........but now...........please forgive me, God, please forgive me!!!!!!!!! I weep.
