waiting for the chaplain to arrive

Wow! That would sorta freak me out, but I think it will stick with these kids' for a long time, hopefully!!

They spend a lot of money on the program and there are statistics showing it helps...its actually not every 15 minutes anymore its more like 35 or 40 so that is good.

Laura's babies...hugs...I can't even imagine, I am sorry if this thread reminded you of that night but if I can help one mother not get that knock I don't mind.

It didn't remind me of that night and it was almost 27 years ago.. It's just having been through it, I couldn't pretend it happened with another child or grandchild.. THAT would bring back to many memories and I probably wouldn't be pretending anymore..

I understand where you are coming from in doing this.. This helps the kids realize it could be them or their friend and it NEEDS to be done, especially with Prom and graduation coming right on up. I take my hat off to you and all those who are playing the parts!

I've never heard of this. Sent chills up my spine!

I remember soon after I got my license, there was a fatal car crash. I'm not sure if drinking was involved or not. Anyway, Dad took me to the yard to see the car. Strands of blond hair from one of the victims was blowing in the breeze, caught on the metal. I've never forgotten that.

Sent chills up my spine!

My feelings exactly. And I agree you are a very good sport to participate (but an nice reward -- you will know right where your daughter is tonight!)

I have never heard of this before in my life,I have been through one in real like just this past year,I was at my girlfriends house when the police showed up about her son,He sadly commited suicide..I freaked right out,That is not news i would want true or false...

When did they start this?I still think knowing its not true it would still send chills up my back.

I have a son who will be able to drive in a little over 2 years....We've told him just because he turns 16, that does not entitle him to a driver's license....but it does scare us to death to think of that time....Every parent has to go through it, but if programs like this can make an impression and make them think twice about things, then I think it is wonderful.

I've never heard of this. Sent chills up my spine!

Me too. Wow. This is a good message to send out but it would be hard for me to go through.
