    I'm a former drunk driver and.by the grace of God I never.ever was involved in an accident. I never drank and drove again. I got caught driving with two children in the car and it really shook me to realise I could have killed them or some innocent people on the road. To this day I no longer drink and hate driving.

      Please don't drink alcohol ever again I am proud you quit but please don't start up again both my parents drink alcohol and get physically and verbally abusive so half the time me and my sister stay in are rooms we only go out to get food or go to the restroom cause we get scared of are parents and seeing them passed out on the couch or the kitchen table and my dad doesn't drink and drive he walks to places cause we only have one car but my mom does and after we got old enough to realize are mom was drinking and driving we said we walked to school or are friends or whatever we went and there has been a few times me and my sister have had to call the paramedics on are mom or dad cause they where drunk and cracked there head open in the shower that was my dad and my mom fell down the stairs drunk and broke her foot and cracked the back of her head open and it has been bad where me and my sister have ran away from the house so please don't drink alcohol again

      My aunt was killed by a driver who ran a stop sign. He was sober. There was no alcohol or drugs in his system. Should I be mad at all sober drivers?

    Father God, please cover this AMAZING FATHER, who's doing the very best that he can to love and raise his children. Give him strength, as he wake up and start a new day, being all that he can be for his children. And God, continue to wrap your living arms around the children......Please let them feel their Mother's presence. Father God, right now, help him, along with his children, to heal. Let him and the children ALWAYS have a special place in their hearts for "Lindsey. " Then God, if it's in your will, when YOU see fit, please allow someone very special to come in Mark's life to add happiness again.......and I pray that this special someone will be kind and loving to his children........if it's YOUR WILL........ Amen

    The man who killed her, Kevin Couch, is dead. But that really does not matter. What matters is the father of these 3 children is continuing to raise them to the best of his ability(which appears to be enormous). May God continue to shine His love upon him and his children and help him raise his children to remember and love their mother.

    I feel for you Mr. Cardinal. I'm almost ashamed to say I've driven intoxicated 35 years ago and I caused an accident. I was horrified. I knew I shouldn't of driven but sadly, I did and I'm doing everything in my power to spread the word of drunk driving. Thankfully no one was injured but this is a second chance. Everyday is a new second chance. I hated myself for a long time. Now, I just hate the act, the horrible decision I made. Now, throw texting into the mix, and it becomes not why but when. I don't drive anymore because it's cheaper and easier to take mass transit because my Brooklyn/N.Y. neighborhood is dripping with subways and buses, like one on every corner. It's faster and safer. Again, my heart is breaking for you and your beautiful family. Lindsay is waiting for you in Paradise.💔

    1996, my 1st husband died as result of drinking. Luckily the guy he hit only had a knee injury. Prayers for your family. My husband died.
