A parent's
nightmare
The news on the cover of the Washington Post Monday sent shivers through the hearts of all that read it. Two young Maryland boys killed in a senseless death. Their crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While waiting for the light to change, their vehicle was struck by a middle-aged woman, pushed across several lanes of traffic where it hit another car and caught on fire. Sixteen-year old David Synder, who was in the back seat, was killed. He had just made the high school varsity soccer team but he really liked basketball. One of his friends riding in the front seat was also killed. The other was injured. They weren’t drinking. They weren't on drugs. They had simply gone out for a burger after a day of watching movies and catching crabs in a nearby river, To remind people again that if you drink, please don't drive, sounds trite and a mantra little listened to. There are no words that can ease the unspeakable and unbearable grief that the parents of these boys feel. When a young life is lost, it pulls at the heartstrings of us all. t
