Never thought I'd be writing this
On Friday May 13th my family headed to San Antonio for our yearly Sea World vacation. We got about 1 hour and a half out of Abilene when we were struck by an 18 year old drunk driver that had sped thru a stop sign on a country road that ran across a highway! It was so instant that it I never even saw it coming. As our car came to a stop , i jumped to the back seat to check on my kids. My youngest was crying so I knew he was at least alert so I tended to my 8 year old Jarrett. He was slumped over bleeding badly. I tried to get him to look at me but got no response. I then check for a pulse and got none. I yelled for my husband who had blacked out on impact, that our son didn't have a pulse. He jumped to the back and unhooked our son and pulled him from the wreckage and started CPR, he worked for 45mins until an ambulance had arrived. It was then that they pronounced my litte boy dead. It has been the worst two weeks of my life. I buried my baby last week, the hardest thing I've ever done. I have pretty much shut down since then. I dint know how to continue on with my life without him.

I am sick to my stomach reading this. I cannot tell you how sorry I am. I cannot imagine the horror you are going through. I will pray for Jarrett and I will pray that God gives you and your family strength to get through this. I know this pain will never go away but I will pray that it will lessen over time. My heart is broken for you. I am so very sorry :(
