Suddenly, from out of nowhere, came a car. It appeared over the rise, in our lane of the narrow highway. It was speeding directly toward us. There wasnt time to think or pray or cry out. The impacta deafening pandemonium of smashing metal and shattering glass. Swirling dust. Then silence. Then we both looked into the back seat, where five-year-old Sherida lay She looked as if she were asleep, except for one small trickle of blood making its way from her nostril to her upper lip. Within seconds, our life as a family had changed forever.

Caused by a drunk driver, this wreck resulted in irreversible injury to a promising, beautiful girl.
