July 5th I had to bury my first girl. She was only a baby. She never had a chance against such a large vehicle.
There is not a day that goes by that I do not just sit and think of her. I wish that I was magic and that I could stop time, no that I could rollback time and make this all go away. If only there was something, something that I could do.
I have learned that not only was this tragedy preventable, it was completely avoidable. It was not as “uncommon” as I had thought. I have learned that there are 3 parents a week that have to experience what my husband and I have. The problem is that no one should have to experience this. Especially when we have the technology to prevent these tragedies. I have since learned that there is power within each and every member of Congress to make sure that no other parent or grandparent would ever have to experience this type of tragedy.
I cannot not help my little Tiffany; but I can help others. So can you. Get involved.
Tell everyone you know about the incidents of precious little children being run over by vehicles because they literally cannot be seen. Contact your legislators to tell them we need to make vehicles safer for children.
It takes a village……….
