Silly Season is here, as the endless weeks of parties arrive on the build up to Christmas, some take chances they shouldn't and people get hurt.
A friend showed me this today, and i know it's done the rounds, but it pulled at my heart and i wanted to share it for some this is a reality. it breaks my heart.
Let's all have a merry christmas..... you can get merry...... but go home by taxi.
Love

"I went to a party, Mum"
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
as 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, Mum 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,Mum,
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, Mum knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mum tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him, that its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mum I'm getting
really scared.
These are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum, as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you, Mum
So I love you and good-bye.
