Lost my big brother
by: Dakota Theis

It was 2-27-04.On the 28th that very next day my papa and my aunt come to my house at 6 a.m. my papa tells my mom that Danny (her only son) was in a crash and he did not make it. And all I remember is hearing my mom scream and that?s all I can remember to this very day. There where 3 people killed that day because of drinking and driving. And all I ask is those who read this is don?t because not only are you hurting your self but your family and so many more. That day at 3:30 I lost my only brother and my best friend and my mom lost her only son.

I feel the same as you

HI first of all I am soo sorry for your lose but at the same time I can relate totally to this!! Only 5 weeks ago I lost my father & brother to a drunk driver! neither one of them drank it was the guy in another truck that got all drunk and smashed into them head on. I also have a site on here...it's rest in peace my daddy & little brother. Check it out. It's such a shame that families like ours have to pay for mistakes that careless losers cause. But in our case the jerk also killed himself that night...got off easy as we have to deal w/ all the heartache for a senseless act!!!!

Bullshit
by: Anonymous

Drunk driving is bullshit and I totally understand exactlly how you feel. |I lost two people that matter alot to me and almost lost a third. I honestly think that the guy that was driving should pay for what he did. Its only fair and only right.
