You never know when your life can be cut short. Things happen out of no where and there is not much anyone can do about it. Life can be cut short for a number of reasons and taking the wrong road may cut your life even shorter. She tries to teach her children that the road that they take can lead their life in the right or wrong direction depending on which road they take. Her children are almost at that age where they will be on their own and have their own lives to live.
She does not want her children to have to struggle the way that they have for the past few years. It has been a long battle and it is still going to be a long road ahead. They have had some good times, and some bad times but they always managed to keep smiles on their faces throughout it all. They find the best way to keep the struggles to themselves so that people do not know the trials, and obstacles that they face throughout their life.
They know that a brighter time will come and they look forward to that all the time because they know that time is short. You cannot wait until it is too late to say the things that you want to say to each other because if you wait it will be too late. They have done without many things because there were more important things on their plate to take care of and that is usually how it always was.
When you drive at night you have a chance of getting struck by a drunk driver. All because they cannot limit themselves when they drink. Someone else could be doped up on pills and not paying attention to what they are doing. They could be texting while driving. There are just so many things that could go wrong when you are out on the roads because you have to pay attention to the other driver’s around you because you do not know what they are going to do.
When you go out to a bar you do not know any of the people in that bar. Something could go wrong just like that. You do not know people and how they will react to certain situations. By keeping yourself out of those situations you limit the risk of going before your time. She is not going to put her life on the line for people that do not care who they hurt, and how they hurt them. She and her husband have too much to live for and keeping her children safe is the most important thing in their life.
All you can do is have faith in the life that you have, and think that you are making the right decisions for you and your family.
