Default Every 15 Minutes

as I posted in a different thread my daughter is participating in a program called "Every 15 Minutes" next week. Every 15 minutes someone dies by a drunk driver. This is a very emotional educational two days for the entire school.

Britnee will be in a real life crash, the fire department, ambulance, local hospital and funeral home are all involved. She is going to be driving a vehicle and get hit by a drunk driver, she will be thrown half way thru the windshield. She will be taken by ambulance to the local hospital and pronounced dead there. A police office will come to my parents home to pick me up and tell me of her accident. I will ride with them to the accident and then in the ambulance to the hospital. While they will be trying to save her life.

The following morning there is a funeral at the school. She will read a letter starting with Dear Mom and Dad, I have been killed by a drunk driver and this is what I wish I would of told you...... and she finishes the letter.

I at first thought I can't do this but it is important to her so I will do it.....

I have created this thread for support.... I know in the next week I am going to need it. I already tear up when I think about it.

some people have asked questions about it... here is the website of the national program.

Thank you in advance for your support. I come here for I know it is here!
