On the day May 1, 2008 I witnessed for the first time, a human being take it’s last breathe right before my eyes. The day started off as normal. I awakened around 9:08 that morning with joy of the beautiful day that was standing in front of me. I stretched, yawned, and hummed my favorite gospel tune all at once.

As I got out car to check on the homeless men, I looked to the right and noticed that there was a baby in the backseat of the Mustang. I immediately ran over to the car. The two people that were in the front, both male and female around their early 20’s looked unconscious.
