I am the mother of the tourist Justin Holland, and it was my birthday. He was run down by Derrick Owen Smith with absolutely no regard and no remorse. Mere minutes after midnight, just as we were celebrating my birthday we were plunged into this nightmare of mourning. For the rest of my life my birthday will not be a celebration, but a day of mourning. There will be justice, please believe that. And changes, since NO ONE should have to go through this, not tourists and definitely not residents. As much as we have anger and strong feelings against much of the officials who did not do their job (don't believe the lies that he was taken to the hospital, he laid in a ditch dead for 2 hours before anyone ever showed up), we have no anger towards the Jamaican people, some of whom were extremely good to us. In fact, we plan to donate monies to the children to purchase uniforms and sports equipment, as well as a computer in my son's name.
