Austin Metcalf died last year after being fatally stabbed at a Texas track meet. His killer, Karmelo Anthony, was recently sentenced to 35 years in prison. Austin’s mother had a gut-wrenching message for him 👇👇😳

Facing the young man who took his life, she drew a brutal contrast: he would one day walk out of prison; her sentence, as a mother, would last forever.
