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 Girl" 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 that has to die?

I like this passages because it remind me to take-care every things all the time and let me awake from sleep.
Yes, that is great to have read such an amazing story like that because it remind me of what I used to think of or what I used to behave toward my parents words. My mom always warned me to be careful with what I was doing. she told me to do this or that, to think of this and that, and it was really annoyed for me because I have always thought that I was an adult then, not a child anymore. I wanted to do anything I wanted. I didn't like her to tell me all the time; I needed freedom. But I forget that what she did is full of worry and full of love for her son because she didn't want to see her be-love son got hurt.
this story is a best one because everything in world always didn't like what you think, but you plan it you can take care it. however on the road didn't happen like everything you you plan because of you drive safe but someone not. This story show me the to stay safe on road.
I am really interested in this story as its morality wants to educate us to do something with caring and avoid from any dangers around us.from noun kimsun
After read this story, i think this is a goos story to remind some childernt to caring of something that we want to do because have people to worry and take care of us. From Sun Chhunlong PPIU
Right, the story tells me what halpen in the past. So can still remmeber my mom's words all time. But in my idea, children like machine that parents give the main point, it's make childrint cannont exspance their idea how to control yourself.

After I read its, I interested the last question of hers, "I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one that has to die?" It's sound like unfair, right?
Sometime we didn't do anything.but the result will come to us. if we always ask "why me?" every time, pls forget its.because it's not the reason can help you.It's just damage you, your thinking. So don't ask and blame this situation.but pls thinking something to solve this situation.
It is the good story that awake people to be regretful to mother. The mother always tells her children all the time because she wants us be good and safety. She is also in our hearts when we have the serious problems that we can not deal with, we often call her to help us.Especially her feeling is with us all the time. Her speeches are full of meanings and she kindly educates us to walk in right way, but sometimes we don't care. Therefore, when it happens to us, we say sorry to her. Please get whatever is good from our mother and obey or respect her, give the value to her, and become a good child for her.
This story is so helpful for everybody.So every should take care and for someone who drink should not drink because it can make someone or their self hurt like this story. And one more thing some one who drive at night please take care you self every minutes because you never know something happen to you!!!
This story reflecting about responsibility of people. people should know that when they drive on the road they should aware that there are other life are also on our hand. When they drive carelessly, its like they look down on the people's life. We should learn to respect the other people's life and drive carefully. If Drink don't drive.
It is a good story because it toll us about disadvantage of drink and drunk. this story want reader understand about what should not done when we drunk, not spend more time to drink til drunk, when we drunk, we should not drive because it make be dangerous. Another, we should not drink too much because when drink like we give up money.
When your mother always advise you, why you still done. But when you got the problem, you always ask your mother helps. Why u can't responsible to yourselves. You shouldn't ask the question of " why " to ur mom. You should be find solution when u got the problem. Because mom can't live with you forever. So before you do, you should knew the result first. However everyone should be listen advice from our mom when she still near us.
It is a reminding story. We should be careful while we are driving on the road, specially at night. There are a lot of drunk people on the way at night, so if we can,we should not drive a lot at night. We always care about our driving, but the drunk people do not care about their driving.
This story is a good one, that want to advise us not drink alcohol before we drive because it can make us get an accident, anyway it is affected our health also. even this story he died but not because of he drink alcohol.

After i read this story i got good advice from story yes of course, me and all of you should know ourselves that who you are? and what can we do? we should do bed deed or good deed. when we do bed deed we will get bed result and if we do good deed we get good we will get good result as like as story if we go to party or join wedding we should not drink and drive, we have a good advice if we drink do not drive if we drive do not drink. if we practice the good advice it make us long life.
Oh my goodness!I can't believe what I read a say story. I feel very pity to her. It isn't a debt for her, why she pay this debt? It isn't actually her fault, why she responsible for it. This story demonstrates the carefulness doesn't not completely safe.It need to be from other parties. For example is this story, she was not drunk but other guy was. Her car was hit by guy's. She was shortly death but the guy still alive. How pity she was? more sadly, she was thankful to her mom that raised her up.
This story wanted to show us that our safety are on our hands so we should be careful about our life so that we should not drink alcohol too much because it can make us have accidents and also some people around us when we are driving on the way.
after i read this story i feel i like it, because this story remind us.
it is a good story, the writer want to remind us to have responsibility, take care everything around us and all the time and the most important message is they want to tell that "if we drink, don't drive".
This story uncover to remind us a bout drive.Of course we shouldn't drink when u drive. so, we should have responsibility for doing something. We must carefully for drive. All parents always remind us every time and wants we get to happy and successful in life so we are respect him or her and people to be regretful to parents to be a good child.
It's a good story for us that should be careful when driving, sometime we obey the law ,but how about other people, does they think of or care about others life? In fact we think that it's not fair for us that we didn't do anything that make another pain by us.
This story alert us to be careful when we drive even we don't drink.Those who are drink can bring accident for us.Distraction can harm our entire life. Hence, we should deliberate in driving and avoid provoking dangerous to others and ourselves.
according what I have read,this story alert all people to be careful what we do. Don't make parents to be worry about what we do, because parents not always with us.so, what we do parents not always know.For example,go to the party or weeding.Drink is one of problems as in this story said. Problem is easy to come if we didn't careful.We don't know when the problem come, like the last sentence of this story said"I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one that has to die?"
this story talk about mother that worry about their children. she wants her children to be good one. she don't want her childen commen wrong thing. so children should listen their mother and do good things for family and society.
Trough my reading, I found some interesting point from this story. The first point is son remember all his mother said. When he go to the party he was very careful with drink and drive. Even thought, his friends ask him to drink. More over, this his mother said if he drank is not drive.The second point is the son wonder his himself that why he die, if he not drank and drive. This point want to show the reader that death is the way that can not a void. The god is already plant for our death.
After I red this story, I think that the story want us to obey our parents because our parents have more experience than us. If we didn’t do follow them, we will have sorrow and lose all every thing that we have at present or at the future. Our parents love us than every thing. They want us have good future and luck. They spend every thing when we want. They try to work hard to earn moneys to feed for children, so we are a kid we must respect them. We don’t make them cry and hopeless to us. All the words of our parents are always value like as diamond. We are students must to become a good person in society.
It is the rule in Cambodia when you drunk and do not drive. Most people are following, but some are not. These some people that make the trouble in society. They did not make themselves accident, but also others like in this case study show out. It is really unfair for person who respect the rule, but get trouble. In my suggestion, I am pleased to alert to person who drunk, do not try to drive by our own. Taxi is the good way for drunker.
From the story, it clearly proves us that our parents has so much care on us. They have unconditional love to us. They have come across many life events and rigorously thought of every aspect of life. Follow them, and we're safe and protected. We're only for luck.
As far as i have read, what i would like to share all readers is to be ready for facing with many things of life as the short story has mentioned above. So, we should be careful every time especially when we are on the road and i hope we are living in happy long life. Moreover, we should listen and feel free to get some advices from your parents because they always think and take care about children, so do not make them upset.
