A friend of mine's son was killed in Minneapolis by an impaired driver on Oct. 27th, 2012. His son was a loving, caring human being, as is his dad. In his backpack was found a written commitment that governed his life: "“I’ll give of your love in me,” he had scribbled in pencil. “I’ll be strong and lift up those who are weak.” His dad and I will eventually speak together to stop impaired driving and turn lives around. I've spoken with so many mothers and fathers through the years, whether it be in MADD or Minnesotans for Safe Driving and in other venues, who have lost loved ones. This is a preventable problem, with many schools of thought as to how it needs rectification. I have faith that expressing and receiving love is our true strength. Strength through vulnerability. “I’ll give of your love in me. I’ll be strong and lift up those who are weak.”
