I cannot beg you enough: please don't drink and drive.

...because it is not an exaggeration to say that if you do so, you could end up dead, or in prison.

My cousin Joanna was newly engaged and about to receive her teacher's license, when she was killed by another woman who chose to drive after drinking. Today, almost a year and half later, that woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

As my uncle said,

"There are no winners in a court like this."

Thanks for sharing Melinda. That story is so sad, but I hope it can help some other lives be saved. Praying for your family at this time.
