I pulled out of my driveway during a horrendous rain storm and accidently ran over my neighbors cat
Oh my gosh! It isn't your fault!!!
It was an accident but I feel so bad and hate to even admit I did it I just feel awful about it
I have ran over animals as well. It is an unfortunate reality.
Its horrible they are my neighbors and I know how much they love the cat, I am mortified, embarrassed and remorseful
Do they understand it was an accident?
They do but I still feel lower than dirt about it
It could be much worse. They could blame you and you would feel even worse. You should feel better with time.
