Drove by the spot where only a few days ago a drunk driver collided head on with a lady and her four children, killing them all. As I passed by the spot marked with flowers on the side of the road. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through the lady's mind, at the instant that she approached this spot on a curve, from a quarter mile away, unsuspecting what was just a few seconds ahead.
You wake up, go about your day, laugh a little, enjoy a meal, have hopes for tomorrow, while behind it all, time is silently and relentlessly counting down, your time remaining decreasing with each second that goes by and then suddenly you reach that point where with no warning and due to another's arrogance and stupidity, your life is over.
And any one of us could be going through that same process at any given moment.
