The time has come...

On Monday, my family will be making the long drive to South Carolina to attend the acceptance-of-plea and sentencing of the young lady who killed my brother. We have waited so long for this day to come. We have had so many disappointments over the last 14 months. Just playing a waiting game, having deadlines extended, offer changes, more extensions, all in her favor. It hardly seems fair that she has had 14 months of freedom AND retained her DRIVER'S LICENSE. What kind of lesson does that teach other potential drunk drivers?

We are praying for some justice to be served on Tuesday. We will be speaking out in court, as that is our right. We have a Victims' Rights attorney on our side, who will be there. Our rights have been violated and that's just one side to this story. There are so many facets, but I will not talk about them until court has adjourned.

This is the second time my parents have had to pay airfare and travel expenses to come to South Carolina for this case. I am just hoping and praying that when we get there, things will be a done deal, and the person at fault in this case will not twist the knife any deeper by dragging things out. Enough is enough. We have suffered enough.
