Valentines; The nineth year of my mothers death. Happy Anniversary.

Deep in the night


Riding alone


Their car moves closer


Closer to home


 


A day of laughing


Celebrating life


A night of horror


Accident and strife


 


Headlights behind


Screeching stop


Windows bust


Lives drop


 


Outside the car


Cigarette in hand


Watching unabashed


Nothing hurts a drunk man


 


A day in jail


Ten years later


A young mom’s dead


And a Killer’s a millionaire

That was sad and this was well expressed. Drunken Drivers I lost family members to.... They hurt others not always their selves.... This was powerful work thank you for being a VOICE.
Peace,
Joselyn

Very touching and emotional write my friend...Stay strong, you are a wonderful writer Crissy and have much to offer others. Mothers against drunk drivers...such a worthy cause. Several years ago I was hit head on by a drunk driver who ran! I had numerous minor injuries, my daughter was very blessed and only recieved a few minor cuts and bruises...my car was totaled...and this person didn't care, because she ran and never looked back. I got really MAD about the fact that they ran leaving me and my daughter in the middle of the highway not knowing if we were dead or alive. I decided to do something about it...I gathered debree from the car that had hit me, so I knew the color, and from scattered parts, we discoverd the make and model. I then alerted everyone that I knew and ask them to tell more, we had postal carriers, truck drivers, bus drivers, UPS carriers, car lots, bag boys, drive through cashiers, anyone that we could think of looking for this particular car...and guess what! Living in a small town as I do, a week later the car was discovered at a pawn shop, I got the plate number called the clerks office revealed the owner and got a warrant, she was jailed, and as it turned out she had been drunk, on pain pills, no insurance, nothing...I did get my car repaired. Many told me that it was a waste of time and effort, I didn't see it this way...I saw it as taking a stand for what I believe in! I also thought that it might help in saving a life! You go girl stand up for what is right! I pray that love peace and comfort come your way!
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

Crissy,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such an unjustified and needless waste of a beautiful life. Bless You on your day of sorrow.

This is heart breaking to hear of, and many lives are cut way too short because of the lack of concern and mere stupidity of others! "Oh, it will never happen to me!", or "I'm fine, I can drive", "...a cab?, I DONT need a cab!" and off they go, some taking even their own lives, others taking others lives, away from their children and families...MADD is right, damn MADD!

Crissy, you are one of the reasons she lived, you are still the one reasoning, in her death... by standing up for its cause and giving her a voice! I commend your efforts!

Love and Peace~

Where is justice or is it just as blind as a drunken driver killer? Sorry from my heart for your loss.

So profound this is. I think the 'm' should stand for 'Murderers'
Murder is committed by drunk drivers.
Thanks for sharing.

How sad...and mostly how sad that one can live viewing the past of a loving memory and another walks with the escape of guilt of his own creation....
