Her life changed in a split second

Early on Sunday morning September 19, 1999, Jacqui - then 20 years old - and four friends were on their way home from a birthday party. Reggie Stephey, an 18-year-old high school student, was on his way home from drinking beer with some buddies. On a dark road on the outskirts of Austin, Texas, Reggie's SUV veered into the Oldsmobile carrying Jacqui and the others. Two passengers in the car were killed at the scene and two were rescued. Jacqui was one of those who were rescued but practically burned alive and dead raw red skin hangs from her body as she cries for help. She didn't die but spend many mths in hospital and had countless plastic surgery to try restore her original looks which is... impossible. Reggie's mom went on the Oprah show and when she saw Jacqui she cried, Jacqui gave her a hug and said 'its ok'

Heres the question if you were in Jacqui's position, would you smile and say its ok or would you hate these people for the rest of ur life and spend every single day cursing them? It takes alot of courage for someone in her position to forgive and she did. She is truly one amazing girl. I'm just thinking why can't we do the same? Often when someone lies (which is harmless white lies), they did it in a desperate attempt to save their own asses. It is undeniable that sometimes they lie way too much but in the situation of Jacqui she is able to forgive the person who shattered her dreams so why can't we forgive and forget graciously like her? I can't imagine having a scratch on my face let alone be disfigured for the rest of my life. I applaud this woman who has the amazing courage of stepping out of her house walking among the crowd living her life just like before. Things can never be the same for her ever again, but she has the courage to walk through it like that so why can't we? We often brawl like a baby over tinny winny things, yet theres someone out there whos life has been completely destroyed by some drunkerd bastard living eachday like a normal person.

Lessons like this teaches us not to give up easily as good things in life don't come easy, often we have to go through the bitterness of life in order to enjoy the few good one for some it takes a while for others it will take a long time before they can taste the sweetness of life. Human need courage something which lacks in most of us. It is not worth crying over broken relationships beacuse it won't come back so why not let go and be happy? It is not worth crying over lousy results so why not work harder next time? It is just not worth crying over spilled milk, the important thing in life is don't give up without even trying, if you think that someone is worth fighting for so what are you waiting for?.... don't give up. Thanks to my mother who pointed out this story to me, I often cry when little things don't go my way and thought my life is over when he left me.... (you won't understand... someone gave you a ring on christmas day, promised that he will love you for the rest of his life and in the end broke these promises, its like a broken beer bottle piercing through your heart and blood flowing like a broken water tank, having built your dreams with this person only to find out that in the end its all a lie), this is a lesson i've learned and will remember for the rest of my life, not to give up, and to let go if i have to, like what mom says there are always other alternatives you just have to look for it. Alternatives to tricky situations won't come looking for you, you will have to go look for them. :)
