Of feeling guilty!

As some of you know, my brother was overtaking another car in March and had a head on collision with another car.

Tragically, 7 people died, including my brother,neice and cousin.

I know that he was at fault, but it was an accident and i just wish people would see that.

We have had so much shit as a family regarding this and have had to read headlines such as 'Killer' and 'Death Driver'...
and read people comments to said articles...''hope he rots in hell''...''Im glad he died''...etc.

Tonight....i was serving at work, chatting to the customers ...as you do...when he brought up the accident.

He starts going on about what a nutter the bloke was and how if he had'nt of died people would of killed him...god job he's off the roads and so on....i listened quietly for a good 5 minutes....thinking that his children,my mum,family and myself...we are not glad he died....yes,he was wrong..but we loved him...still do....and to hear people talk about him like that angers me.

He obviously did'nt know it was my brother he was referring to. I simply said to him that as he does not have all the fact's...don't pass judgement.

He then asks me if i knew any of them....i said yes, the driver was family. His face kinda dropped!

Apoligising like mad whilst saying he did'nt mean what he said.
I told him that people are intitled to have an opinion, and he meant what he said or he would'nt of said it! Then told him that it was ok as i don't hold grudges with people for having a opinion,but to be cautious with whom he shared it with!

As he left,Several customers in line, told me how well i handled the situation. yeh...maybe...but now....i feel like shit!
