I’ve never had this happen before

I’m a little heartbroken that yesterday night, I hit a deer, one of my favorite animals, for the first time ever. It was a lovely buck that I just couldn’t stop in time for. If only he’d kept running instead of freezing up in the headlights. It happened so fast, and oh I just keep picturing him in the ditch scrambling to make sense of things before he dashed off into the field.  Hm.

I’m more concerned about the deer, but, my car didn’t fair too great either. (sorry my vehicle is so dirty! I haven’t had time to wash it and its been really cold.)
