On Saturday, Jan. 23, an altercation, of sorts, took place at one of the small parking areas near the Brunswick Point Dyke.
I was one of the participants on the day, and although only harsh words were exchanged, I wanted to apologize to anyone who may have witnessed it and to the other family involved. I don't usually get into yelling matches with strangers, especially in front of my kids, but as you can never know what is truly going on in someone else's life at any particular moment, I ask for some leeway at this time.
Instead of answering rudeness with rudeness, I should have just said have a nice day and left it at that. Maybe then the entire situation would have evolved differently, maybe then the derogatory remark you shouted as you drove away might not have happened.
The whole exchange has sat heavy with me the last few days and I couldn't think of what else I could do. Hopefully you will read this and accept my apology for my role in it. I was not my usual self.
