 i'm so sorry for your lost
by: Valery Aragon

WOW I DON'T REALLY HAVE MANY WORDS TO SAY BUT THAT YOU ARE A VERY BRAVE PERSON.... I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.. I LOST MY LITTLE BROTHER ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.. I RAISED HIM AND HIS TWIN SISTER.. I HAVE 2 BOYS OF MY OWN AND A LITTLE GIRL... IT HAS BEEN REALLY HARD FOR US HE WAS 15 YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS MURDER.. HE WAS A BOY FULL OF LIFE HE WANTED TO BE A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, I WAS HIS MOM, HE LOOKED UP TO ME... HE LOVED TO PLAY FOOTBALL AND HE HAD SO MANY FRIENDS.. I SAY THAT HE IS A HERO... ONE DAY AT A GRADUATION PARTY A DRUNK MAN DECIDED TO GET HIS GUN OUT AND STARTED SHOOTING EVERY ONE WAS SCARED THE PLACE WAS FULL OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS... MY BROTHER IN LAW PANIC, MY LITTLE BROTHER JUMPED ON TOP OF HIM TO PROTECT HIM WHEN THAT HAPPEN A BULLET HIT HIM.... THAT NIGTH 3 BOYS GOT SHOOT HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIED... HE DIED ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATTER IN THE HOSPITAL.. BEFORE HE DIED HE SAID HE DID NOT WANT TO CLOSE HIS EYES BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS NOT WAKING UP AND THAT HE LOVED US..THEY TRY SO HARD TO KEEP HIM AWAKE.. WHEN THEY GOT TO THE HOSPITAL HE WAS STILL WITH HIS EYES OPEN AND HE STILL TRY TO TALK BUT HE COULDN'T... THEY RUSHED HIM IN THE HOSPITAL THEY TRY TO BRING HIM BACK BUT IT WAS TO LATE, HE HAD INTERNAL BLEEDING AND HE DROWN IN HIS OWN BLOOD. THAT NIGTH WHEN I SAW HIM LAYING DEAD AND HIS TWIN SISTER ON TOP OF HIM SCREAMING TELLING HIM TO WAKE UP, IT WAS A NIGTHMARE THAT I NEVER WANT TO GO THROUGH AGAIN.... I KNOW HOW HARD IS TO LOSSE SOME ONE WHEN THEY SUFFERD BEFORE THE LEAVE... I HATE TO THINK ABOUT IT ... HE WAS MY BOY... I LOVE HIM... I LIVE WITH THAT FEAR OF LOOSING ANOTHER ONE OF MY BOYS... SO I UNDERSTAND YOU SO MUCH I FEEL YOURE PAIN SO DEEP THAT I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE YOU IN FRONT OF ME TO GIVE YOU A HUG.... THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME STRONG IS THE HOPE OF SEEN HIM AGAIN.. AND I KNOW GOD WILL GIVE YOU THAT CHANCE, YOU DESERVE IT...

 thank you.. im so sorry..
by: slh

Im so incredibly indiscribly sorry about your loss.. im 22 yrs old and to be completly honest i wouldnt have even thought about reading stories like yours if i had gotten a dui.. Reading your story really made me stop and think about other people instead of just myself..i have a 3 year old son. when i go out its for me to get a break for myself and when i do that i dont think about anybody but myself.. Which is a terrible thi ng to do especially if i am drinking cuz not only could i hurt myself or someone else.. what about my son what would he do if he lost me because i was being stupid... i just want you to know that ive been selfish and because of you and your loss ive change everything not for me but for my baby.. i want you to know that i am deeply sorry for the loss of your son and i could never imagine the pain youve been through.i wanted to thank you for being strong and telling your story! I hope all is well and please keep telling your tragic story because if its helped me its going to help alot of people..
