#77 Mark's Story

I may have mentioned this in a previous posting, but it deserves to be repeated. For those of you who enjoy excellent writing you will be taken in immediately by this.

It is the story of a young man named Mark. He is from Northern California and he made a decision to get a ride home one evening from a friend who had been drinking. For the rest of the story begin at this site.

I know Darlene will appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I visit her site daily and am quite taken with the courage her family shows.

That is such a sad tale Jack, one doesn't realize how well off one is until you read something like this.

Peter, I agree. Would you be kind enough to tell others about this site.

In her first posting on 1/18 she asked for folks to tell young people about Mark's situation as an example of what can happen when riding with a drunk driver. Requests such as mine to you is another way to get the story around the world.

Thank you.

bronxbt, you are welcome. I check her blog every day and on most days I leave a comment. We have also emailed a couple of times. Thanks for the heads up.

A very sad story indeed. These things are very difficult for me to read and talk about. I witnessed two friends, both drunk, on a motorcycle lose control and veer into the path of an 18-wheeler. What was left of them of them was literally shoveled off the road.
....It has had a lasting effect - probably an emotional scar - that usually finds me avoiding these types of stories.

I wish the family the best and will pray for them, but I couldn't lave a comment there. Sorry.
