It's in our human nature to always want to be right. It's hard for most of us to admit when we are wrong, no matter what the issue is. We are willing to deny any wrongdoing and make excuses for our bad behavior.
But if we admit our mistakes, it takes an even bigger person to try to make amends, however possible.
This is what one man is trying to do, after the decision to drink and drive led to disastrous consequences.
Luckily, when 23-year-old Tirron Omar Bright got behind the wheel inebriated, he didn't hurt anyone. But he rammed into a wall that separated a veteran's cemetery from the road, crashing into tombstones and destroying grave sites.
He was taken to jail and charged for his crimes. Over the phone, he tearfully apologized to the families of the veterans whose resting places he desecrated.
Now, Bright has stopped drinking, recognizing the temptations behind his bad behavior. He has started to make amends not only by asking for forgiveness but by paying his respects to the dead.
He takes the time to leave flowers by their graves, in hopes that, in time, both he and the families he hurt will heal the pain his recklessness caused.
Please SHARE if you think this young man, who is on his way to getting clean and becoming sober, is doing right by the veterans and their families!
