The choices you make in life will have consequences..Now she has to live the rest of hers with pain ,sorrow and regret.My mother was an alcoholic.it took her 50 years to finally quit drinking.she was 69
When my youngest daughter was born.
@annie just because it says dui doesn’t mean it was an alcohol related dui. You can get a dui from prescription medication, drugs anything like that. Regardless it’s very sad and even worse that it was her own child.
Annie, from what i read the 2 year old and the 4 year old was in the drunk drivers car.
So the 2 year old was a passenger of the drunk driver? Or was she in the other car?
There is no justice in cases like this, only punishment. DUI is horrible. There is NO reason to ever be driving after drinking. Too many options to get home other than driving yourself. Cases like this are the worst example of when a good time drinking.. Turns to murder. I know all involved and I see no way out of this other than when I build my time machine.
This is SO sad on SO many levels. May God help everyone involved as only He knows how. A lot of pain of so many different colors here.
Praying for the family of this 2yr.old may god put his healing had on this family amen.
