An
Inspirational Story
I went to a party, Mom, I remembered
what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead. I really
felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive,
Mom, even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I
know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending,
Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd
get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and
sweet. I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road, the
other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement,
Mom, I 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
could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon. There is blood
all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll
die 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 was probably at the same party
as I. The only difference is, he drank and I will die. Why do people drink,
Mom? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like
a knife. The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair. I'm
lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's
Baby" on my grave. Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and
drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is
getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom, before
I say good-bye, "I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to
die?" This is the end Mom. I wish I could look you in the eye, to say
these final words: "I LOVE YOU AND...GOODBYE"
