Ok Peeps, have you heard of this?

My nephew Trelan goes to Helix, and they have a project (its not his senior project) with other students and they have to "die?" Well I was at my moms house and 2 police officers and a grief counselor came in, now the 1st thing I thought was... Oh no! Child Protective Services! They are gonna take one of them kids! Or Latham you better hide! lol! But they were there to talk to Mona and Moppy about a car accident involving some kids. Trelan Taylor was one of the kids that was "killed" in a car accident. The officers were very detailed, and stated that there was other witnesses at the scene, and there was alchohol involed an the police wanted to tell us whats going on before it got to the media. My dad was in the kitchen and was telling me and Latham (we were hiding in kitchen) that he just dropped Trelan off at school! Then it dawned on me, my mom told me earlier that Trelan was going to "die" at school today, but I didn't know what she was talking about until now. Man, is that crazy or what?!?! Anyways, Trelan (and some other students), have to go to school with his face painted white, and he cannot talk to anyone, until tommorow at school assembly. There will be a real crashed car there and the whole works! wow! I will try to go and get some pics too. Pendeza said they did that at Sweetwater, but not so detailed.

oh wow, i've never heard of that. sounds interesting. hopefully it will make the kids at the school think twice before drinking and driving or doing other risky activites. when we're kids, we never think those bad things could ever happen to us

Um no never heard of that. But what a great reinactment. Please get some pictures. I hope the kids take that and drinking and driving very seriously!!!! The more real the scene the better the message may get across.

I've seen the car crash. Very sobering. Unfortutnately though it gets forgotten too quickly because at that age you think you are invincible. I know I did. I didn't drink and drive or anything, just wreckless driving sometimes. Mostly speeding, I mean really speeding....

Oh yeah, one more thing. Regarding what the pastor said at your wedding. It takes a REAL man to cry at his wedding. Don't let him tell you otherwise!!!
