It is very sad to lose someone so young, in the prime of their life. I don't know the circumstances that caused the driver to hit your girlfriend, but I see charges may be brought against him. It is a reminder we should give all of our attention to driving a vehicle. Potentially, two lives have now been ruined, since this man is now possibly facing time in prison. This will have an enduring impact on all the lives of the people close to them.
This story was a reminder to me as well. I had planned to begin a trip to Kentucky this morning, but I was so tired yesterday and had so much to do, I would have hit the road at total exhaustion. I'm delaying my drive until tomorrow to allow some rest.
God bless you Olaf.
