Sorry to hear about the loss man, that really, really sucks. I hope they find the guy, get your car fixed for free, and charge him with hit and run.

I know it is difficult for you to do right now, but try to look on the bright side; You are alive, you didn't get seriously injured and you are not disabled. You were not riding a motorcycle, you weren't killed. Try to smile and thank god that the situation didn't turn out worse, and that you are around for your family to enjoy during Christmas. That right there is something to smile about.
