On saturday, a 16 year old girl was killed in a rollover just outside the city I live in. She was a passenger in a car driven by a 17 year old boy. He faces impaired driving charges. I feel so sorry for these children's families, especially at this time of year. I am a strong supporter of MADD (mothers against drunk driving) and hope that someone will benefit from reading your message Bob.

Julia, Do you mean that he(your son) was born Much Too early?

If this stops just one person from being hurt by an idiot drink driving then it will be worth it!! thanks for sharing!

Thank you Bob, sending that to my dad now! It makes me sick! xxx

I agree Bob. I kept thinking of my daughter as I read it and was very upset at the thought of it happening to her. I know some of the people I have sent it to will just look at it as sentimental rubbish but it may just make them think a bit if tempted. Jacky

I got this in a chain mail, I dont normally believe in chain-letters but I thought that the message was relevant..

I have sent this to all in my address book that I know are drivers. Sincerely hoping no one has been through this awful experience and it is just a warning. Jacky

I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, Because he chose to drink and drive, Now I would have to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, "Daddy's Girl" is on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!" So I love you and good-bye.
