About this time today I was heading down to visit my parents for Father’s day. We had a great day until it turned tragic that evening. As some may remember from last year about what happen to my parents and I on Sat. June 16, 2007. of last year. On the eve of fathers day my parents and I were in a tragic accident that could have been prevented if the driver, who hit us had not been drinking. My parents were killed instantly, but I survived with minor cut and bruises. Unfortunately, I also had to have surgery earlier this year to remove the blood like clots that had formed from all the bruises I had. The trial for the guy who hit us was over this week too, which the jury found him guilty on all charges, which is good that the system worked for me, but still does not bring my parents back. All and all, it’s been a life changing, bad time for me since last year. I hope now that I can continue to move forward with my life and put all the negative things that has happen behind me.
I posted this to my main blog at www.purplestars.com, but wanted to also post this to my Lockergnome blog to let everyone know what I’ve been dealing with since last year.

Today has been a a great day spending times with friends and family. I spent the day like most all who celebrate Memorial day. We grilled out today, since the weather here in the Carolinas was great. We even made some home-made ice cream too. However this day is just not to have fun and spend it with family or friends, but to observe the day by remembering all the U.S. men and women who have perished while in military service to their country.
