On September 12, 2006 it will be an exact year to the date that Brentson almost lost his life at Taylor Stratton Elementary by unknowingly coming into contact with someone who had eaten peanut butter. Brentson and I will not ever be able to get this date or the events of this day out of our minds. We will never be able to forget how horrible this day could have been, but by the grace of God it turned out okay. We have been through so many different emotions in the past year… From literally being “mad as hell, to severely hurt that someone and some people could be so cold and heartless!” To start with Brentson almost died, I had to pull Brentson out of Metro Nashville Davidson County Public Schools and start Home Schooling him through a Christian Home School, and last but certainly not least… We got “Brentson’s Law” passed! I honestly have to say that it has all been worth it, especially if “Brentson’s Law” might help save another child’s life with anaphylaxis food allergies! Through a lot of prayer… Brentson and I both, have been able to forgive this Principal and those at the MNPS for their slow response and non-action when immediate action was needed! We forgive them for ourselves so we can have inner peace and so that we can be right with God. “If you don’t forgive others, then you shouldn’t expect God Himself to forgive you!” Take Care & May God Bless,
Laura & Brentson Duke
