ON MAY 17, 2008 MY FATHER WAS KILLED BY A TEENAGE DRIVER THAT HAD BEEN DRINKING ON PROM NIGHT. HE WAS RIDING HIS HARLEY DAVIDSON AND GOT HIT HEAD ON. PUTTING MY FATHER IN THE GROUND WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY WHOLE LIFE. HE WASN'T ONLY A FATHER TO ME AND MY BROTHER AND SISTERS. HE WAS ALSO A GRANDPA, A HUSBAND, ANYONES BEST FRIEND, A SON TO HIS FATHER WHO IS STILL ALIVE, AND A BROTHER TO MANY SIBLINGS. I GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS THE TEENAGE STUDENT THAT KILLED MY DAD... ITS VERY HARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. ESPICALLY MY BROTHER BECAUSE HE HELD MY DAD WHILE HE DIED. MY BROTHER HAS NIGHTMARES EVERY NIGHT... DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND DONT DRINK AND DRIVE...
LOVE ALWAYS A STRUGGLING TEEN :-(
