Every Day is Another Day Without You
After so many years, what is it now 4?
It seems like more.
Every day is another day without you
Every day is another day without YOU……………
Did you ever have someone who loved you, who gave you everything you ever needed, and loved you when you were your worst?
I did. I did!
And now every day is another day without you.
…
I love you Honey I simply, completely love You… and always have and always will love you. Sandy
September almost your birthday, 2012…………… I celebrate you my love.

Save the Date: Oct 22nd WALK LIKE MADD Fundraiser
Our family will be walking again in the Walk Like Madd Fundraiser to help raise funds to STOP DRUNK DRIVING from tragically affecting other families like ours and so many others.
My father was killed by a drunk driver while standing on the side of the road waiting for a car to pass. Unfortunately, my father was waiting in vain because the driver of the car was a drunk driver, ending the life of my father who was full of life at 74 years old. He was heading out to go to a help some friends with Barbershop music. His plan was to return home later in the day to celebrate my mother's birthday that day. Unfortunately, that did not happen. It still doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem that he could be gone. It seems like he was just here... So, that day, someone decided that they were fine to drive after drinking several beers...but the driver was not fine. And now, someone I love is dead. He ended my father's life and ended his (for the time being) as he sits in prison today(not long enough, in my opinion, but that's another story). Don't Drink and Drive! Don't risk it! Be responsible...I really wish this driver had thought of that on November 10th, 2008. If you would like to donate to our team: Honey's Bunch , please go to http://www.walklikemadd.org/ search: Gun Barrell City team: Honey's Bunch Thanks you in advance for knowing how important this is to our family.... PS: Also, I have another song of my dad singing and I am working on the video...hope to have that ready by the Walk Like Madd event!

On the day my father was killed by a drunk driver, my perfect little world was shattered. It hadn't been that long before that I had thought how blessed our family was because we had not had a major life altering occurence like some families had experienced. But then, November 10, 2008...our major, life altering occurence happened. My father was struck and instantly killed by a drunk driver at 1:30 in the afternoon. My father was standing on the side of the road waiting for a car to pass by before getting back into his vehicle. Unfortunately, this car didn't just pass by... During my father's "standing room only" memorial service, I described our family as a "caterpillar that becomes a butterfly...we wrap ourselves in a chrysalis to surround us and protect us. We wil grieve in our protective shell, struggle to be set free and one day our wings of peace and love will set us free and we will fly again."
It seems for me that I am on that journey... seeking that peace in my heart. I am still seeking...but I have taken one "wing" out and trying to find my footing. Since that day, it has been difficult to find my place...my footing, however, about a month ago, when planning to walk in the "Walk Like MADD" (walk-a-thon), I began to clearly see my "footing". I feel I have been called to do something important with my life and help to spread the word to STOP DRUNK DRIVING. So now, as my other wing struggles to be free of the chrysalis, I have many projects that I am working to produce. I am creating Public Service Announcements about Drunk Driving. I will be looking for as many places as possible to have these aired. I have several different ideas and slowly but surely my little camera and I will produce meaningful and thought provoking PSA's with the intent to at the very least make someone STOP and THINK before they DRINK and DRIVE.
I am currently looking for other people who have been affected by a drunk driver. If you or someone you know would be interested in being "a face" or "a voice" for my video, please contact me at KaraSSpots@aol.com
I hope to have my first PSA completed by the first week of November.
