Grammys Corgi Country

Today I am sad … and MAD !!! A friend’s fiancé was killed last night in a tragic hit and run accident. This man was a brother-in-law of another good friend of mine, as well. It happened on the two lane country highway a couple of miles from where we live, and one of the EMT’s that responded with the ambulance, and is also a dear friend, and he had to help with the cleanup.

So many people are hurting today, and it was all caused by someone who got drunk and decided to get behind the wheel of a car, and drive at around 100 miles an hour down a dark, curvy country highway at night. Our friend’s fiancé’s car had broken down, so he was walking down the side of the road to get help when the person hit him. Needless to say, his body was pretty messed up. The driver kept on going and was caught later. We aren’t sure if he even knew he had hit someone.

I know it has been said before, but I’m going to say it again: If you drink, DON’T DRIVE !!! If you do, you are taking the lives of you, your family and everyone else along the path you take, and putting them in danger of sustaining major heartaches, lives that are scarred forever, and in some cases even death.

If you cause an accident that seriously injures or kills someone, ALL of those that you love will suffer along with you as you live (maybe) with the consequences of your actions. So will all of those from the other side that suffer for their loved one’s and their damaged lives or from their deaths.

If you drink, please take a moment right now and think how YOU would feel if a drunk driver injured or killed your son… daughter… mother… wife/husband… or someone else you loved, and then plant it into your head that you will NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE !!! Please don’t say those famous last words: “It can’t/won’t happen to me…”

If this stops just one person from this kind of pain, it is worth passing on… Have a safe day…
