raw truth

john is grieving. he lost his baby too.


girl under arrest in the back of his car, drunk, crying: you dont understand, i just lost my dad, it's so hard.

john: that makes it ok to drink and drive?

girl: you just dont understand loss!

john, blood boiling, yelling: i just lost my fucking daughter, it doesnt give you a fucking excuse...


his partner had to take over after that.

  3. wow. poor guy. sometimes, i think we should all wear our stories on our shirts. so that we can see that we all have saddness in our lives. i think it would make the majority of people much more sensitive and loving towards others.

  4. Oh no. Poor John. I think he was very restrained under the circumstances.

  5. This hug is for John. I am so so very sorry for your loss....and I agree. Our loss does not give us teh rightto take someone else's life.

  6. I can only imagine the things he sees and the people like this he encounters. Big hugs to both of you. I hope that girl remembers what he said when she's sober actually. Think of the damage she could do driving drunk. Shudder. He's right that there's no excuse.
