Death was cheated

Hello world-wide-web,
      Thank you Heavenly Father for all the heroes in our daily lives: ordinary people, like our family, friends and parents, who make our lives so much better. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Brian Wood, a computer gaming designer from North Vancouver, and his pregnant wife, Erin, were driving home on Friday, September 17th. Nothing unusual about this, couples are happily married (remember, 50% of all marriages LAST), wives gets pregnant, and driving home is an everyday occurence.
On the other side of the freeway, two twenty-year-olds were high on drugs when the driver decided to take off her sweater and asked her friend to take the steering wheel while she did so. The truck swerved, crossed the center lane and headed straight for Brian and Erin. I think Brian's gaming ability came in handy as I imagine him assessing the situation quickly and breaking a hard right - causing the oncoming vehicle to crash into himself, but saving his wife and unborn child. Brian went straight to Heaven in that heroic act of love, and his wife and baby cheated death because of his ultimate sacrifice. Rest in peace, Brian; the world is better having had you in it.

"I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world." Mother Theresa
