"I remember. I was in the back seat. With my sister. We were playing a road trip game and eating frosties from Wendy's. We were having the best time. And then the car stopped. I dropped my ice cream. It got all over the beautiful leather seats. I was crying. I mean, I was seven. And I fit it all over my favorite outfit. And I lost my ice cream. My mother turned around to see what was wrong. I screamed because I was watching as the truck hit us head on. I turned to protect my sister. My Mother ended up being fine because when the air bag turned in, she was turned around. She was driving. When the car turned over and over in the ditch, we were fine. But right before my Mother had turned around, my father had got napkins, took off his seat belt and helped clean the mess. He didn't get very far. He turned around to throw them out the window and yelled. He was thrown out the front window. He died after being taken to the hospital."
