I loved this poem. It really got to me. It showed me what could happen. I feel really bad for you family and also yourself. I hope that i am never put in that situatuion and i hope that my friends and family arent in that situatuion either. It could really affect somebody's life.

Sarah

I started to tear when I read your poem. Put in the simplest of words, you touched my heart in a deep way. Nearly three years ago now, I too was hit by a drunk driver, but thanks to God I survived. Everytime I read the statistics about drunk driving and the massacres that follow an accident, I keep thinking, that could have been me.

Tara

Well i thought this poem was very touching. Many people have lost thier lives threw drink driving and usally the person that coarses it gets away and the one that just so happened to be there at that time suffers all the pain. Wich is so unfare.

Heather

Your poem is very touching. I know the pain of losing someone to a drunk driver, I lost my boyfriend to one and not a day goes by that the pain is not there. I hope that someone never has to go through that pain but until everyone realizes what drinking and driving do, there will always be this knid of pain.

I really liked your poem. I had two friends die in October of 2002 from riding with a drunk driver. I know the pain that bear within you everyday. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of Eric and Kevin. Please keep you head up and think of the good times you shared together. That is what I try to do. Your poem will save someone's life, even if it is just one person! Thank You!

Brooke

This is a very sad poem and I can't say that I know what you are going through but I can tell you that my mission as an 18yr old senior is to try and stop drunk drivers. Because of a drunk driver my aunt can no longer run around with her 5yr old son and because of my uncles mistake he no longer has a left arm. I hope you sarrow eases soon. This should have never happend.

Karla

This poem was great. I was really touched. It takes a lot more than just a poem to get me feeling this way, but this one was great. I'm sorry about what happened. I know you feel sad, but just remember that there are a lot more people that this happened to too.
