This Is Why I Say It

Christopher, I know you get tired of me reminding you to be careful every time you go out. Well, I do this because I want you to always remember when you are in a car with your friends you need to be careful. I want you to always hear my voice reminding you.

Last night the awful wreck just down the street ended a boy's life. That boy was just a little older than you. He chose not to be careful and made a decision that cost his life. I can not even begin to imagine what his mother is going through today.

So, I will continue to say be careful. I will also continue to remind you that one bad decision can change the rest of your life. I hope that you will continue to remember.

Love, Mom
