Please don't drink and drive! My youngest son was killed by a drunk driver and to me no one should drink Yo and then go out and take the chance of killing someone because of stupiedity. God Bless

sorry for you loss of your son,and yes you are so right, alcohol an drugs don't go together with driving. And it is proven in these cases very often the driver who used drugs or alcohol and who causes the danger is most of the time not the one who gets injured of even killed.
Thank you for posting this very true advice!!hugs and prayers for you and family.

This should go for ALL year!! DeVon

I am so sorry to hear this. I only hope the drunk driver will spend many years in prison.

I can't even bear to think of the loss for you. This is the worst thing that can happen to a parent. My prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.
Alice.

As you treasure the memory of your son here is hoping you can look forward to the new year.

So sorry for your loss. That must be the most dreadful thing to happen to any parent. I agree no one should drink and drive. It's sinking in slowly here in Australia, we have had the lowest Christmas drink/driving deaths for years.

Thank you for your courage in bringing this subject up. Love and blessings Chris

Thanks for the reminder, and as others have said, very courageous & caring of you. I'm a little tired today from going out to pick up my 19yo from a party at 2am. Very happy to do so, of course -thank goodness we can learn from others bad experiences.

Hi Marianne,

Good on you. I've got to tell you that it doesn't change either even when they are married!!!! All our children have on occasion rung us to ask us to pick them up as they can't get taxi's - so guess who goes and gets them???!!!!!! Love Chris

Good on you too, Chris. I love to hear of other parents doing the hard yards to help their kids stay safe!

I agree with you. Thanks for bringing this up. So sorry that you lost your son.

My prayers are with you during this holiday season. Losing a child must be one of the most difficult things in life. I too, was hit by a drunk driver, when I was a teen, but I lived without too much damage. I pray that the driver changed his ways and no longer drinks.
Love and God's blessings to you and yours.

Such good advise. I am so sorry that you had to loose your son and I wish more people would listen and stay of the roads after drinking. Also don't let anyone leave your home that had been drinking.

I agree100% please don't drink & drive!!!Sorry for your loss !!carolyn

This must have been awfully hard. Sorry for you loss. God Bless you and keep the rest of your family safe. I agree DON'T drink and drive. Always have a designated driver. Please all drivers focus on your driving and not your phone or other items in you vehicle or the people you are with. May the Good Lord watch over all tonight and every night.

Thank you for your amazing courage to remind others of the dangers that drunk drivers cause. since the holiday season there have been over 1000 deaths on our roads mostly due to drunk drivers.
My Prayers, and great sorrow for your lossed loved one.

My der - I will be praying for you - New Years is a time when many drink - it is so sad to realize that they would also drive - hopefully - they will have someone else drive if they drink, nor should htey use their cell phone or text while driving.

What a tragic loss of precious life. My heart goes out to you & hope the sharing of the loss of your son will save the life of another. God Bless you...

Just want to keep this request near the top...it is important to respect life and and protect it in any way...even if it is a little inconvenient. Happy New Year to all and may God bless each of you. Dwaddle, please know that you are in our prayers as today reminds you of your beloved son.

Sorry for the loss of our son. No one should ever drink and drive OR text OR talk on the cell phone While driving. It is so dangerous to take your eyes off the road for even a second. Don't do it at all! Stay safe!Suzanne

I agree. If someone drinks then get a ride home wirh someone who is sober. I have lost friends through drunk driving.

I agree totally! If people didn't drink there would be less fatalities on holidays. Thank you for sharing this.

I agree whole heartyly. No one should drink and drive. Arlene

Am so sorry to hear that the stupidity of one person cause so much grief for so many more. Love & hugs. God be with you
