[ARC5] Ever More OT: Seat Belts

[David Stinson]

I post this because I have dear friends here
 and if only one listens, it's worth it.

I wear two wedding rings, one on each hand.

One bright, sunny day I and my beautiful young wife
Talyha left our home in Pahrump, Nevada to travel
into Vegas for a dental appointment.  
We turned onto Nevada Hwy 160
 and I pulled-over to the sholder.
"Sweetheart, I don't suppose it would do any good
to ask you to put on your seat belt?"
I always wore mine.  She would not wear hers.
"David, when it's your time, it's your time," she said.
20 minutes later, two 18-wheelers rounded a blind 
corner, filling the narrow mountain highway.
The head-on impact was brutal.
I survived with minor injuries.
But three very hard, pain and terror-filled hours later,
 it was "her time...."

Please, my friends.  Please.
