Drinking and Driving.
Yes. I have had a lot of things happen that changed my life forever! But this, this has been the most life changing ever! This Valentine's Day was not only my youngest daughter's birthday, but also the day that I lost one of my best friends, my only brother. At about five am February 14, 2009 my bothers life was taken partly because of a drunk driver and mostly because of God's will. It is very hard to try to understand why. I shouldn't even ask why. It has been a week and one day... Seems like minute sense this happened. The funeral services and the graveside services all went so fast that I did not even have time to think. I am still going on shock mode right now. I have all these feelings that I have not even began to let out. Mad, sad, overwhelmed, shocked, numb, tired, Mad!, thankful, shocked and Mad. Just to name a few. I have heard from several caring loved ones and friends that it is a process. A grieving process. What in the world does that mean? I will grieve my brother's death until the day I die! I am also having to deal with all these feelings about this drunk driver, which was also a good friend of my brothers.
Please I beg of you, Please think of your children, your sister, your brother, your family, other families before you drink, must less drink and drive!
Could you live with your self if you were to hurt some one while drinking and driving. Could you live with your self if you involuntary murdered someone while drinking and driving?
No, I know that this is not something that usually crosses someones mind during a party or before leaving a bar or even your own home for that matter. I do know that somethings hit home, and will stick with you forever if you experience it first hand.
And I will tell my story over and over again until the day I die, so maybe just one person's eye will open and maybe some one's life could be saved.
