My condolences to you and your family
It's all fun and games to talk about tragedies of unknown strangers like this on a random internet forum but every time I come across this story, it sends shivers down my spine to think of what happened. It was an innocent decision that led to a dangerous life threatening event.
If any thing good came out of it, it's made me even more careful about life and taking unnecessary chances. I'm older now and I think about things more. I ride motorcycle and every time I get the urge to want to speed up, run through a tight corner or dip into a dangerous situation, I think twice, slow down and take my time or even just stop and let everything and the danger pass. I do the same when driving in a car down the highway .... everyone can pass me, I don't care ... I can be late, I don't care ... I'll even turn around and go home if the weather is bad or I just don't feel good about it .. as long as everyone is safe and sound, there's no need to endanger one's life, if we don't have to.
