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 (拐進(jìn)) into the   5   lane, colliding with a(n)  6   car.

Mom took a deep   12  . “Come here…”

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.
