Have you heard or read about Sam and Aric?
Newlyweds.
A beautiful young couple, celebrating spending the rest of their lives together.
And for Sam, that was true.
Just hours after saying their vows, Sam was killed when a drunk driver slammed into the back of the golf cart she was riding in.
A drunk driver.
A 25 year old woman.
Driving 65mph down a 25mph road.
Drunk as a skunk.
Makes me SICK.
How can shit like this continue to happen?
You know, I've read people commenting "this is why golf carts should be illegal" - um, what?
Drinking and driving is illegal and that didn't stop this person from ruining lives forever.
The golf cart was street legal (from what I've read) and I know it's common (especially in the south, where this happened) to drive golf carts around certain communities.
They were heading back to their bed and breakfast around 10pm after their wedding with their friends and family.
And that's it. Sam died and Aric is in the hospital fighting for his life. His brother was driving (I think it was Aric's brother who was driving) and he's injured as well.
Two families are now destroyed. Because of the behavior and choices of one person.
25. Old enough to know better.
25. Her social media shows an abundance of drinking partying behavior.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely partied. I made some questionable decisions. I'm so fucking grateful my choices didn't hurt anyone.
But I feel like now? UBER. LYFT. Someone?
Did her friends let her drive?
So many questions.
I just hope that I am doing a decent enough job with my kids that they'll know to just call someone. Or not get in a car with someone.
Sam may have been taught the right thing. But it didn't matter.
She didn't do anything wrong.
And she's dead now.
Because of a drunk driver.
