A test we’d all like to pass but hope to never have to take

Texted Keith this photo, asking him to guess where i am. Ironically, he was in Orlando.

First time ever to Hawaii – May 2013

 

Drunk driver killed high school classmate Keith’s son three days ago.

Just found out last night it took hours to remove Sam from the car.

And his Dad’s ribs are crushed, punctured lung, internal bleeding and multiple other injuries.

Feeling tested here.

Anyone else feeling that?

Despise the driver or forgive the driver?

Curse the driver or pray for the driver?

Oh my gosh, the list of people to pray for seems endless.

Road closed for hours. Not a lot of roads on the Hawaiian Islands. What repercussions from that put other Families or other emergency situations in critical situations?

Was there a bartender who could’ve stopped serving sooner?

Was the intoxicated driver angry at someone or something and got drunk because of it?

What happens when Keith becomes conscious for the first time and realizes Sam is gone?

Pray for the quick responders at every stage of Keith’s rescue?

Pray for the world to have zero tolerance for drinking and driving? Zero.

We go through our days one at a time and they add up.

One year is 365 of them.

We think this math will go on and on for a long time.

Last night received word a high school classmate and his son were in a car accident.

Sam, 27, married with a young daughter, was tragically lost. Keith was airlifted to Oahu in critical condition.

Was best man at Keith’s wedding a week after we graduated high school in 1977.

What does this wake up call do and to whom is it intended?

There is a special secret with random acts of kindness (RAK)

There is a special secret with random acts of kindness (RAK).

Here it is:

We should avoid placing a degree of worthiness on any RAK.

When we evaluate the worthiness, or impact, a RAK might bring, we often decide to not do the RAK because it seems so insignificant.

Often, what we could do we don’t do because it seems too trivial.

How can any RAK ever be trivial?
