Mr. V's Journey To Recovery

I am not sure who will read this post but I do have updates. We are still working on setting up the Roel M. Villarreal Memorial Scholarship Fund boy the IRS doesn't make it easy to set up stuff. My mom and I are still here, every day we get a tiny bit better. In other news, here is the real reason for this post.
On November 12th 2009 my dad was struck by a woman who ran a red light. Her car basically T-boned my dad's car right into the driver's side. At the time the police didn't cite her for anything because they wanted to wait and see how my dad was going to recover and if he didn't recover and die they would try to charge her with vehicular manslaughter. Well it has been over a year and we never heard anything from anyone. My mom along with very supportive friends made that call to the investigator. It was very hard for her to do because basically you are reliving it all over again and it is a terrible feeling. Well she made the call. He told my mom that they worked hours and hours trying to build evidence to charge her. They presented the report to the district attorney who then in turn presented it to a panel or the DA may have sent it to the grand jury he wasn't sure. Ultimately they decided to only cite her for running a red light. Yeah running a red light. I am guilty of running red lights, I even got a ticket but no one died. My dad died because of her carelessness. It was hard to prove she was speeding because conveniently BMWs (yeah she had a BMW) don't have the black box that records speeds on cars. So they had no idea how fast she was going. One witness said she wasn't speeding, another witness said she was. They couldn't tell how fast she was going because there was little skid marks because she didn't hit her breaks when she hit my dad, she just crashed into him and then the vehicle stopped. The light was red, it wasn't yellow turning into red, it was RED. Other cars were stopped at the intersection because it was RED. She just flew through it like it was a green light and right into my dad who was making a left turn. So her carelessness killed my dad but all she got was a ticket for running a red light. Yes I know some will say Delena don't be mad take the high road and she will get her judgement later in life. Well I am mad because she took away one person that I cared for so much because I don't know she needed to re-apply her mary kay make up. The investigator said he was sorry that all they could do was give her a citation. He said it was unjust that this happened. He said they worked hard but because they couldn't produce evidence she was speeding or under the influence they decided not to charge her with manslaughter. I understand it could have happened to anyone and yes her intention was not to hit and kill my dad that day. However, I wish she would have said something to us. Sorry or something. Does she think about my dad? Does she ever wonder what happened to us? I am too shocked right now to comprehend. We waited for a year to hear back thinking oh they must be charging her with something, no a citation for a red light which they could have done then and there at the time of the accident but didn't. I had a feeling this would happen after reading a news story in the Houston press about how messed up City of Houston traffic laws are. Well I guess I thought people should know. I know most of you have moved on but my mom and I never will. We lost a great man who meant so much to us because a lady failed to stop at the stop light. I want everyone to remember this when they drive. I am guilty of it too running red lights but no more. I even stop at yellow. It's not worth getting somewhere 5 minutes sooner if it means sacrificing someone's life.
I love you dad and I miss you so much. I know you would tell me this happens mija and there is nothing you can do but be thankful for what you have now. I am thankful for people who have supported me through this. I just wanted to let everyone know what has happened so far.
