Just One Drink

There’s a small cross by the side of Highway 128, near the town of Boonville. If this cross could   1  , it would tell you this sad story:

Seven years ago my brother, Michael, was on a friend’s farm. They decided to go out for dinner. Joe another friend, arrived and   2   to drive–after just one drink.

  3  , the four friends traveled the winding road. They didn’t know   4   it would end – nobody did. Suddenly, they changed their direction and swerved (拐进) into the   5   lane, colliding with a(n)  6   car.

Back home we were watching E.T. on video in front of a warm fire. Then we went to bed. At 2:00 A.M. a police officer   7   my mom with the   8   news. Michael had been killed.

In the morning, I found my mother and sister   9  . I stood there,  10  . “What’s wrong?” I asked,  11   my sleepy eyes.

Mom took a deep   12  . “Come here…”

Thus began a difficult and tiring journey through grief, where all roads lead to nowhere. It still   13   to remember that day.

The   14   thing that helps is telling my story, hoping you will remember it if you are 15 to get into a car with someone who has had a drink – even just   16   drink.

He left us with a(n)  19   in our hearts that will never go away, a nightmare that will haunt him – and us – for the rest of our lives. And a small   20   by the side of Highway 128.
