My dying best friend his brother.

Just now I stumbled upon a video that made me want to share something with you.

This Story is about... death.
A boy named Drake. Drake is a 16 year old American boy, a skater who lives in Miami, plays piano. And he's crazy about Miley Cyrus. He has 3 younger sister and a younger brother and both his parents. He is a popular guy in his high school, especially around the girls. Why? Because he's a gentleman. He hold doors for girls, he doesn't let anyone down and he tries being nice to everyone.

this was his favorite picture of him.

He passed away November 2012 because of cancer. Rest In Peace my dear.

His brother.
At some point, I can't remember what we were talking about, he started talking about his family. He told me how his mom loved him and how his dad loved him and didn't know how to show it but he was trying really hard. How he was so good for his sisters, and how much he loved them. And somewhere along the story he started to tell about his younger brother. His younger brother was painful story.

He was at the gas station with his brother, he was about to buy a soda for himself, his brother decided ha would like one too and came running up to Drake. While he was running he got hit by a car. The driver was drunk, as soon as he realized he hit someone he got out of his car and ran away. They didn't find out who he was. His brother got hit so hard he past away. Drake told me once that if he ever would find the guy who hit his brother he would beat him to death...

Drake his brother got hit by a car, it happened in front of his eyes.. and he passed away. 

I have so much respect for his entire family, it must have been so hard for the parents to lose their son to a drunk driver, and for Drake for seeing his brother die and his sisters for losing their brother.


But here's what made me want to write this. 

Turn on English subtitling if you don't speak dutch or France!

This video was made by a Belgium institute, for people are people who drive dangerous. Some people were so concerned about others that it would maybe eventually cause their death. To make these people realize how dangerous they were being they got invited to their own funeral. It's crazy, but pretty emotional.

Is this video a little bit over the top or is it just right? It is definitely a wake up call to a lot of people probably.
