emotions

Tonight I was watching America's Got Talent and they had this amazing brother-sister singing trio and they just had the emotional story that made me really feel for them. The little girl (who has the most amazing voice I have ever heard!!) was nine years old, the same age I was when my mom had her accident, so I really understood when they were talking about their mom who was hit by a drunk driver and spent 8 months in a coma. I just totally felt their pain and it made me sad that other families have been through what I have been through and worse. It's just so not fair (and yes, I know life isn't fair) that nice people who have nothing to deserve this pain are subjected to it. It's not fair that families have mothers taken away from them by careless people and random accidents. Because I know from experience, even though my mom is still here, she has never been the same and I have not been able to have a mother daughter relationship with her since then because of the accident. It took away a part of my mom and I could tell that it was the same for these kids. And what's worse is that their mom was almost killed by a drunk driver. It absolutely disgusts me that someone who is not in control would get in a car and not only risk their own life, risk hurting the people that care about them, and risk some innocent persons life just for their own recklessness and a good time. What disgusts me even more is how long I put up with people that are those reckless people in my own life. At least now I know better and know that they won't be able to hurt me in that way. If I knew the person that I am talking about read this (doubtful, but who knows) I would tell them that they should have enough respect for themself, and know that there are so many people that care about you and if you continue along this path you will hurt them (myself included because no matter how hard I try I still do care). I'm just putting it out there, reckless behavior hurts, divides and destroys families. It's not fair and I don't wish what I have gone through or what these kids have gone through on my worst enemies.
