December 20th is a date that I try to forget everyday but I never will be able to. I know it’s not my fault, and that the weather was bad and all the other reasons people find to not blame me.

Max did end up living but he will forever be in a wheelchair, I put my closest friend in a wheelchair by serving this man.
