8 years ago a close family member was killed by a drunk idiotic driver. I now dread this time of year. Anniversary, her birthday, Christmas. All ruined for our family because of this idiot. I try to distract and avoid the memories of that night but inevitably it's unavoidable. Waking up in the middle of the night with a feeling of dread in my stomach. It's so shitty, she was only 17.
