story: Although I never met Justin, I met his mom, Jamie, many years ago through our jobs. I’ve followed this story ever since it happened, because I have a 22-yr-old son who struggles with making the right choices and I can’t imagine having to go through what your family has gone through. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking about it and I’ve used it as an example with my own son, trying to impress upon him how things can go terribly wrong in one completely unexpected moment. You should be so proud that you’ve fought to change the law and are trying to positively impact other young peoples’ lives with your message. God bless and stay tough.
