On Drinking and Driving

If you're one who is prone to drink and drive, 
then you don't deserve to be alive. 
The only thing that separates you from the one 
who in a drunken stupor killed my oldest son 
is that it hasn't happened yet to you, 
but one day you will 
have your inevitable kill
if you continue to drink & drive like you still do.
You will have not only killed another human being,
you will have destroyed everything that individual could have been.
..and when that event happens, may God have mercy on you
because the rest of your life will be over, finished, through,
but if you insist on continuing to drink and drive
then I pray to God that you're the only one who one day doesn't arrive alive,..
..or better yet, just get some much needed help
because you really have lost control of yourself.

Dear Bill, there're not enough words to console you my friend. please find some peace in knowing that your beloved son is resting well with God. I'm not here as much as before but will do what I can to keep in touch. Love, Annalise

Pure ignorance and selfishness sitting behind the wheel. Hope a lot of people read your message.
