I am very much against drinking & driving. I think if you've had one drink, then you've had too many to drive...zero tolerance. It makes me so mad to hear someone say "I'm just going down the road." On September 11th, 2005 I was in a horrible wreck where a drunk driver came over in my lane, with no lights on & collided with me. I never saw it coming. I almost lost my life that night. I saw two people die right in front of me, the things I saw that night will haunt me forever. The woman driving the other car had an alcohol level of .262, over 3 times the legal drinking limit here in Florida & she walked away. I had several broke bones in my body, too many to mention, & had to go thru rehabilitation for months, I'm still getting psychiatric help, I expect I will for years to come, if not for the rest of my life. I still wake up at night screaming from the nightmares I have. There are days I feel that I won't be able to get out of bed because my body hurts more some days than others. One interesting fact about my wreck is that the woman driving the car I wrecked with was not a young woman, she was 76 years old at the time of the wreck. She went to prison when she was 77. So, everytime you hear about a wreck involving drinking & driving, don't always assume it's someone young. I used to assume that, until it happened to me. I broke down in court & said that it was very important to me for the woman to know that I do forgive her for what she had put me thru & what I will be going thru for the rest of my life, I also got to tell her to her face that I forgave her. It wasn't the fact that she was old because the result was the same rather she was old or young, it was something I felt in my heart I really needed to do. She went to prison & has to live with the fact she killed 2 of her friends that night & almost killed me, something that could have been avoided.
This is what's left of my car. Although it may not look too bad to some, I get up most everyday feeling the pain from it & live with the nightmares of it almost every nite.
I'm a very easy going person. I love having friend's, be it online or in person. I live in Lakeland, Florida with THE love of my life. I also have a 3 year-old Chihuahua named Nevaeh, that is Heaven spelled backwards. She has truely been a God sent, she came to me at a really bad time in my life. Needless to say "Must Love Pets." Pets show true uncontional love. I can't imagine my life without a pet. Also, I never try to hide what I believe in from anyone. The way I look at it, God didn't put anyone here to judge me or anyone else. Some people say that I'm judging people who drink & drive, ONLY because someone drinking & driving almost cost me my life, did cost two people their lives, & has changed my life, both physically & mentally, forever. Drunk drivers hurt & kill thousands of people every year & lawmakers still want to call it an accident. It's a senseless crime.
