I want to beat this issue once again, for my own sanity and for my friends who I care about. Two questions...
1. Did you see my blog about the death of my nephew?

2. PLEASE Have you talked to the young people in your life?
A week after my nephew was killed a kid in FL was killed the same way, which makes me wish I would have hit this thing harder. Last night, like every day, I had to drive my car along that stretch of tracks where Andrew was killed. I always live that scene vividly in my mind. Then I was driving on a four lane near a Walmart and a kid with a bag of groceries all dressed in black was running through the traffic against the light. I slowed way down and when I got close to him, YEAH, he had a wire coming out of his hoodie. You can imagine how mad I was.
Don't be affraid of making some kid mad by telling them to take those damn earbuds out of their ears while walking in dangerous areas. And keep educating people about this. It's not gotten any easier for me or my family. We cry every day and think about it every minute. Please help prevent other people from going through this.
