Christmas Eve
Happy holidays everyone. Hope it's good for you. This will be our first Christmas without my grandfather. Already it doesn't feel the same. Everybody is doing their own thing this year. It's definately strange to not have the whole family together. The hardest part about this christmas is that I'm still very angry. My uncle was killed almost two weeks ago. He and my aunt were sitting on the side of road with hazards flashing. A guy in a truck hit them from behind and spun the car into a tree. My uncle died at the scene. He had a broken neck. My aunt was in the hospital. She had blood on the brain, a broken clavicle,and three broken ribs. The guy who hit them was drunk. Somebody had reported the car driving erratically and the police had been looking for him. This is his second dwi. And he caused an accident before that resulted in injury or death. And the messed up thing is that the most time he's facing is 9 years. MAX. 9 years. James is in for 6 years. Three years less, for batter and running. He didn't kill anyone and he's probably going to do more time than this guy. What the hell is this.

Im sorry to hear about your uncle and aunt, i dont get why idiots who get dwi's and kill or injur other innocent people still can access vehicls or licenses the system is fucked up!! My best friend is in prison with a 20 year sentence for robbing a gas station and running, he didnt kill anyone, he just lives in Alabama where they are real strict on gun crimes, its fucked up! My step dad passed away suddenly 6 months ago and the wounds are still pretty raw for my mom and I, christmas is gonna be hard. All you can do is go on and know that somewhere your loved ones are looking down on you wanting you to have a nice holiday as if they were there. *hugs* have a happy Christmas
