In 1994 I lost 2 friends (Jerry & Sarah, They were a couple) It was a warm summer evening and they decided they were gonna walk to the movies instead of driving.

On thier walk home they were crossing an intersection (Not against the lights) and out of nowhere a drunk driver ran a red light. From what witnesses said, Jerry seen the car coming straight at the 2 of them, He pushed sarah as much as he could before the car hit them..He was killed instantly, and sarah layed in acoma for about 2 weeks, The doctors said that if she survives she would be brain dead. The family let her go to rest in peace.

There's not a day that goes by that i prey that he put a gun to his head.

5 years ago my stepfather was arrested for impaired driving, I don't get what people are thinking..I drink on occasion and i understand that when you drink you lose some control over yourself. I have been so drunk before that the first step i take goes straight ahead..but the second either goes to the left or right..Never a straight line, And not once have i ever thought of driving.

Losing 2 friends in such a....fucked up way, messed me up for a long time..I cant even imagine what thier parents went through.

I don't have a problem with people who drink..But when they reach for thier keys, They need to get help to get the alcohol out of thier lives.

Their graves lay side by side.

What if they stopped to tie an undone shoelace, or stopped at a corner store for something. I still find it so hard to believe.

You just never know what could happen.
