I am thinking of you today and hoping you are hanging in there. :hug: It sounds like you have a remarkable and brave daughter and you should be very proud. (I'm sure you are!)

My DH has two children from a previous marriage. His son is almost 15 and is getting closer to getting a learner's permit. My DH has been collecting articles about teenagers killed in drunk driving accidents--or in any kind of accident for that matter-- for many months now. DH prints them out and puts them in a 3 ring binder that he plans to show his son once he starts driving. It will be a reminder to be responsible as well as show how many people can die.

I only have a quick second for I need to get to Brit's school by 8 and it is a little over an hours drive.... but wanted to check in really quick.

The accident wasn't as hard as I thought, she was smiling and it didn't go as planned but I will talk about that when I have more time.

She sent me a text about 6 last night while I was in class. Her dad didn't write the ullagy like he was suppose to and he didn't have time. So mom ended up doing it last night when I got home from class - till almost 11. That my friends is not an easy thing to do!!!!!!!!! I am just glad I don't have to read it.

will check in later!

Hugs to you and DD! That's gotta be tough.

She'll never know who's life she affected, but she should know she changed somebody's life doing this.

:cool:

Hey Yabbit?

Was channel 5 there? I caught the end of a piece on the news between 5:00 am and 6:00 am and they were at a school doing a report on this. Was that Brit in the report? Did I see the back of your head? I tried to catch it again later in the morning but I missed the 6-7 report completely.

Glad it wasn't as hard as it could have been. Hope all goes well today. I wouldn't want to read what you wrote either. I wouldn't make it through it, just knowing that her mother wrote it!

Yes, RW it was on channel 5 and Britnee was the one they took out of the car and put into the Ambulance.

It was the hardest thing I think I have ever had to do.... Britnee was a trooper - I am so very proud of her!! It was a very hard experience for both of us. She said to me "mom, I don't ever want to do that again." I in turn told her I didn't either....

I didn't want to come back to work I have been pretty emotional all day but I am here. I have been talking with one of the girls here in office since I got here so that is helping.

I can only say I am glad it is over!!!

Char, can you give us the link to the news channel? I tried to look it up but only came across an educational channel? I wonder if they have it online if it's a large station?

I looked Sandy it wasn't on there.... :mad:

Oh that's too bad. It's probably to protect the students.

char,
this is an amazing thing to do.
just reading what was being planned put a knot in my stomach.

sorry i'm reading this late and hope you and the family will be healing from this mock experience.
