Today is the 16th anniversary of the day my step sister Donnie Lynn was hit by a drunk driver and killed. Before I tell the story the best I know how I will tell you about Donnie Lynne. Yes, she was my step sister not biological.. that never mattered she lived with us not her mom most of the time when we where kids, she didn't like my mom at all when her dad married my mom she wanted her mom and dad to get back together even though they been divorced years. Donnie gave my mom hell. The night Mom married my Poppy they had a party at t he house and dropped us off down the street at an arcade and plat games.. Donnie Lynne wasn't having that she was pissed off, She purposely or I believe it was purposely hurt herself in the parking lot so they would have to leave there party. She ended up needing stitches in her knee. For a year here and there she did stupid thingd. My mom and her dad whose name happens to be Donnie divorced mom had my brother Kenneth. Donnie Lynn got her wish her mom and dad got back together for close to a year,, see her mom is a gold digger she looks for the man with money in his pockets.. so she cheated and left Donnie one more time. In this time my mom did a stupid thing and married this man I hated. They divorced before Kenneth turned 2 cause the dude couldn't keep it in his pants, 9 after there divorce he got re married. We moved back to my Paw Paws house after he passed away.. Donnie my Pops would come visit us all the time and come see mom while she was working, after a year we moved back in.
Donnie Lynne started liking my mom she realized she was better than her own mom and would listen to her. Donnie Lynn was a wild teenage always drinking and doing drugs. She stopped the drugs and drink a good bit she had even had some problems with drinking and driving wrecking her car. She got was engaged they fought because they liked to drink. At this point she learned her lesson and drink at home she was tired of getting in trouble. She and Harold broke up she was going through some confusing things in her life. Actually my mom was helping her deal with and understand.. She was getting her life somewhat together she had miscarried and that kinda made her understand things in life. The night the accident happened, she and a few of her friends stopped by my Pops Fire Station to visit since they where in Atlanta anyways. About 4 to 6 hours later Donnie Lynn had gone across the street to call a cab. on her was back across the street she fell off the side walk and the 1st automobile hit her and kept going.. All any one know was it was either a dark blue or green SUV. The person was never found.. I believe someone said Donnie was trying to get up and another car hit her this girl stopped. That was the one that actually killed her. The girl got off with a slap on the wrist from the judge. I don't thin she even got a DUI. I understand that Donnie was in the road she didn't see her, but she was still drunk.
I still think about her everyday.. I thought of her as one as my big sisters that a step sister her and Wendy both. it hurts she was only 23 years old when she died. She was so young and ready to do better in her life, but she was taken from us. I think she has left a little part of herself in us.. in out hears. We love you and miss you Donnie..... God Speed!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do me a favor PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
