I lost my mom to a drunk driver. He was on probation for his 2nd DUI when he hit my mom. There are no words to fully capture the depth of pain and loss that my family and I have endured because of this man’s actions. This accident not only took my mother from me, but it also stole so much more—time, peace, and a sense of security that I will never regain. Instead of grieving and healing with my family, I have been forced to dedicate endless hours and years of my life to this case, reliving the pain over and over again. Every court date, every legal proceeding is time stolen from me and my loved ones. I now live with the horrifying memory of saying goodbye to my mother as she slipped away, just four days before Mother’s Day arrived—a holiday that will never be the same.
