I'm so sorry for your loss. Your writing expresses the insanity of the situation so well, heartbreaking. But for the Grace of God there go I... Hugs...

10 years of probation for vehicular homicide? That's it? sigh. Are you and Jennifer biological sisters, Andrea? Congrats on your placement and for your bravery to write this one. ;(

A wonder and a bliss, your lines have given my heart a kiss and I am glad on your page, I did not suffer a miss. An outright 7 dear colleague

Very point blank sis. He didn't get off scott free because he blamed the girl in the vehicle with him, said it was her fault. She broke her neck in the accident, was able to walk away after being in the hospital but he never acknowledge his act of stupidity of driving drunk. He did get 10 years of probation.

The damage done is forever. It's a shame. Your words are like a knife. It is something how in just in an instant a horrible act can (a cut) be done which is irreversible. Alcohol has a very dangerous side. I knew the person who owned the import rights to grey goose vodka. A number of years back he sold it for $4 billion. So, we can hardly imagine how much a part of our society it is and what we are up against. He also owned jagermeister. They had "jagermeister" girls in bars promoting it.

Wow. This really got to me, Andrea. Your words are point blank. Condolences for your loss. I'm not sure how I'd feel if this happened to either of my brothers :(

how heartbreaking, andie... a most compelling read!...huggs

You really do bring it on Andrea, this is so true, ..........

This is the epitome of tragedy and of human irresponsibility! A masterful write dear, Andrea!

So tragic...this poem. It highlights the danger of driving while under the influence in such POWERFUL and succinct way. Bless you for writing it.

this is so powerful, andrea! and so sad...

It's beyond imagination. Unfortunately it happens too often.
