Drinking and Driving!

My son calls me just a while ago and tells me, mom this women was in school and told us the story of her son getting killed while a passenger in a car!  A drunk driver hit into the back of the car he was in and some of the people in the car got out but he was trapped and 90% of his body was burned, he died that day! He was only 16yrs old at the time of the accident, I believe he said it happened in 1999. She proceeded in telling them that she wanted to see her son and told the class that his nose was burnt off and all his skin was burnt and his hand were gone and so much more.  He said she showed videos of him along with pictures and began to cry.  She goes around to schools and talks about what drinking and driving can do to people and their families.  I thank her very much, it was very obvious this affected my son the way it was meant to, there are times with young people that the only time they talk to adults is when they want money or they are in the mood to do so. He called me and said mom, I could not help but cry with her, he listen and listen hard! I thank this women so so much for continuing to tell her story of what happen to her son!  With each and every time she tells her story the pain is relived all over again for her!  I wish I could tell her that as a mom I thank her from the bottom of my heart! She is making a difference, I know because she did with my son!
