Ran over the neighbors cat! :(

I had a terrible day yesterday! My neighbors cat jumped right out in front of my truck. I didn't have any time to swerve or brake. This is the part that I feel really bad about. I stopped and she was still moving. I couldn't pick her up. I panicked. Ran to their house and banged on the door. We went out to the road and she had died. I feel so guilty for not picking her up and not comforting her for what I had done. ( I would want to be held before I died) Whiskers was twelve years old and a great friend to their children. (all seven) They wrote me a note and told me not to feel bad and that they still loved me. Whiskers was their only pet. I have offered to replace her but I feel so guilty.

Guess I just needed to get this off my chest.
