She's Paying The Price

randyjohnson71

An intoxicated man hit a woman's car when he decided to drive.
She didn't die when her car was struck but her son didn't survive.
She couldn't even attend her son's funeral because she was hospitalized.
She lost her only child and she's also paralyzed.
She's paralyzed from the neck down and she will never walk again.
He drove while intoxicated and two people paid for his horrible sin.
That drunk driver learned that drinking and driving is a stupid thing to do.
When he hit that woman's car, there wasn't just one victim, there were two.
When that man became intoxicated, he drove and without even thinking twice.
A stupid decision was made and because of ignorance, she's paying the price.
The drunk driver feels remorse for his mistake and as he sits in a jail cell, he sheds tears.
This story is nothing new, there are many thousands of drunk driving fatalities every year.

    (thank you! for choosing to share)
    An important topic
    A vital warning, for all to heed
    An especially vital message
    during these festive days
    where we all like to believe, it won't
    happen to us:
    ''DO NOT DRIVE
    IF YOU FEEL, IN ANYWAY
    LESS LAERT THAN USUAL
    VALUE LIFE
    Walk, take a Cab or Bus!
    It's NEVER, EVER
    worth the RISK...''
