In 2015, Brampton, Ontario's Jennifer Neville-Lake's nightmare became a horrifying reality when all three of her children were killed by a drunk driver.
Four years later, as a new school year started, she shared a heartbreaking photo on Facebook both to try to keep their memories alive and to remind others not to drink and drive.
But when they weren't back on time, she started to get annoyed, and then worried.
"When five o'clock hit I was like, 'This is really late for them,'" she told ABC News.
"I tried calling their phones and they didn't answer me. I flipped on the news and I saw the crash and I said, 'That's my van.'"
By the time she and Ed got to the station, their eldest son, Daniel, and Jennifer's father, Gary Neville, were dead.
"I remember saying to the doctor, 'All of my children? All of my children are gone? This can't be true.' Our lives are pretty much over because our whole family has been taken."
The driver, Marco Muzzo, 29 years old at the time, was found to have a blood alcohol level almost three times the legal limit for the province, according to CBC News.
But even when justice is served, that can't bring the people we've lost back.
"Grade 8. Grade 4. Grade 2. Or rather, should be!" she wrote. "These were the lunch bags for their 2015 school year."
"Daniel's is the camo one with his favorite number of 10,000 and Harry chose the name of his guinea pig for his, Fixer. Fixer died and was cremated on Sept 27 2018," Jennifer explained.
"I share it to raise awareness of the consequences of impaired driving in the hopes that no one else has to hold all their children's birth certificates in their hands for their 40th birthday like I did this year," she told Fox 35.
