I am going to vent and get psychotically bitchy right now
Because I just found out that a friend of a friend was in an accident last night. (Lets call my friend A and her friend will be R) R was hit by a drunk driver. she is pregnant and luckily the baby is ok but R's neck was broken in the crash. The really tragic thing that R's boyfriend/babies daddy died on the way to the hospital.
I can't even imagine the kind of sorrow and despair R must be feeling right now. I don't even really now her (I think I may have met her once a year or two ago) but I still feel so very heartsick for her and I'm crying as I write this. I just don't understand how anyone can think it's okay to get drunk off their fucking asses and then jump behind the wheel of a car. Does it make them feel tough? Do they think they'll be cool if they can make it home in one piece? Never mind the fact that they might end up taking someones life away from them. I mean seriously I would really love to left alone in a room with someone who repeatedly gets behind the wheel when drunk, I guarantee they will find out exactly what it feels like to be hit by several tons of hot metal with an engine. I know what it feels like to lose someone very close to you because of some drunk fucker who decided to get behind the wheel and let me tell you it is one hell of a painful process to move passed. In my case I lost someone who was like a sister to me and I'm still trying to move passed it four and a half years later. R lost the man she loves and the father of her unborn child... and on Christmas too... I'm just sickened by this and I can't write anymore or I'll go into a tirade about all the horrible things that should happen to people who drink and drive.
As far as I'm concerned there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for anyone to drive drunk... EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
