N 3 T j £ AC £ HU £J 1 went to a party. Mom. 1 remembered what you said. You told me not to drink. Mom. So 1 drank soda instead. I felt really proud inside. Mom, The way you said I would, 1 didn't drink and drive. Mom. Even though the others said 1 should. I know 1 did the right thing. Mom, 1 know you're always right. Now the parts is finally ending. Mom, And everyone drives out of sight. As I got into my car. Mom. I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the wav you raised me. Mom. So responsible and sweet. 1 started to drive away. Mom. But as I pulled onto the road. The other car didn't see me. Mom. And it hit me like a load. As 1 lie here on the pavement. Mom. 1 hear the policeman say. The other guy is drunk. Mom. And now I’m the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying. Mom. I wish you'd get here soon. How come this happened to me. Mom? My life burst like a balloon. There is blood all around me. Mom. Most of it is mine. 1 hear the paramedic say I'll be dead in a short time. I just wanted to tell you. Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others. Mom. The others didn't think. He didn’t know where he was going, Mom, He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is. Mom. He drank and 1 will die. Why do people drink. Mom? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now, Mom. Pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking. Mom, 1 don't think it's fair. I'm lying here dying. Mom, While all they can do is stare. Tell my brother not to cry. Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I get to heaven. Write Daddy’s Little Girl on my grave. Someone should have told him, Mom. Not to drink and drive. If only they 'd have taken the time. Mom, 1 would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mont, I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me. Mom. Because when I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question. Mom. Before I say goodbye. I didn't ever drink. Mom, So, why am I to die? This is the end. Mom. I wish I could look you in the eye To say these final words. Mom, I Love You and Goodbye. Anonymous £iw to see those distant sha les Buckle Up Don't Drink and Drive , Kings Point Bacchus Chapter Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students DEAR ANN: I first met her in high school. She was older than I, and exciting. She’d been around. My parents warned me to have nothing to do with her. They claimed no good could come from our relationship. But I kept meeting her on the sly. She was so sophisticated and worldly. It made me feel grown up just being with her. It was fun to take her to a party in those days. She was almost always the center of attention. We began seeing more of each other after I started college. When I got a place of my own, she was a frequent guest. It wasn’t long before she moved in with me. It may have been com- mon-law, but it was heartbreaking for my par- ents. I kept reminding myself I wasn't a kid any- more. Besides, it was legal. We lived together right through college and into my early days in business. I seldom went anywhere without her, but I wasn't blind. I knew she was unfaithful to me. What’s worse, I didn't care. As long as she was there for me when I needed her (and she always was) it didn’t mat- ter. The longer we lived together, the more at- tached I became to her. But it wasn’t mutual. She began to delight in making me look foolish in front of my friends. But still I couldn't give her up. It became a love hate relationship. I figured out that her glamor was nothing more than a cheap mask to hide her spite and cynicism. I could no longer see her beauty after I came to know her true character. But old habits are hard to break. We had in- vested many years in each other. Even though my relationship with her made me lose a little respect for myself, she had become the center of my life. We didn't go anywhere. We didn't do anything. We didn’t have friends over. It was just the two of us. I became deeply depressed and knew that she was largely responsible for my misery. I finally told her I was leaving for good. It took a lot of guts, but I left. I still see her around. She’s as beautiful as when we met. I still miss her now and then. I'm not boasting when I say she'd take me back in a minute. But by the grace of God, I will never take up with her again. If you see her. give her my regards. I don’t hate her. I just loved her too much. Chances are you know her family. The name is Alcohol. -Waco. Texas
