Welcome to Kind World. I'm Yasmin Ammer.

And I'm Andrea Aswahue.

So Yasmin, do you have any kind of interesting friendships in your life?

So I was in marching band in high school, as you know. I played clarinet and there's this upperclassman

she really did not like me for some reason I can't tell why

but I caught her rolling her eyes a few times she was really quick to point out flaws the end of that first marching season, she would

even give me rides home when I didn't have one.

I mean, that's a huge difference right you're jumping from

not liking each other to she's giving you rides home so do you remember how that

happened? Well it didn't happen overnight I don't remember exact moment, but I will say we spent a lot of time together, and I think in that time, we realize that even though we have different ways of doing things, we both come from really good intentions and I think that's why we became

good friends by the end because we saw the good in each other.

Yeah, I think taking the time to get to know each other, to really appreciate the other

person and realize they're coming from a good

place, I think that makes for a really interesting and surprising friendship.

And that's exactly what this week's story is about.

April 10, 2015, started like any other day for Mark Joseph Parado and Luke Hutchins. Neither expected it to be the most traumatic day of their lives.

Mark was on Interstate 65, driving from Indianapolis to his home in southern Indiana.

He had been in the city for a business meeting.

Luke was also driving home on the opposite side of the highway heading north.

I was sent home from McDonald's, where I held a job for six years, and I got my vehicle and

proceeded to go home. I was driving down 65.
