I know, secondhand (because it was a friend and not me) about accidents in which the car bursts into flames and in a few seconds.... totally changes many, many lives!

The friend I had (he's dead now....but not from the accident) was the drunk driver......and he hit the back end of a Ford Pinto (I've told this story before). The driver of the Pinto wasn't hurt badly.......but it was the luck of the draw in this case. My friend, too, was burned beyond recognition. Tears sprang to my eyes when I saw those pictures of that young lady! If I hadn't read that this was a girl..........I would have thought I was looking at Mickey......my friend.....a male! He had such similar injuries and my heart bled for him all over again!

Causing the anguish or living with the guilt.....who's to say which is the lesser of the two unless we've walked in those shoes!

Let's just make a deal.......to never walk in those shoes if WE can prevent it!

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! It's that simple!
