Personal
Letter: To A Drunk Driver If you had met my daughter under different circumstances, I am sure you would have really liked her. She was such a nice person and everyone who met her liked her. I am sorry you will never have an opportunity to see her smile, because her smile reflected just how much she enjoyed life, and there was no doubt that she was looking forward to a long and happy life. This strange thing about being in the wrong place at the wrong time is so ironic, and as you know all too well, this is how she met you. God only knows whether or not our lives are destined to come to an end at a certain point in time, or if perhaps certain events and circumstances could have been avoided. But I think you will have to agree, drinking and driving is a situation that you could have avoided, and had you chosen to do so, my daughter would still be here with me now. If I were to sit down and read Webster's Dictionary from cover to cover, I would still be unable to find the words to describe the pain I felt when I was told about the accident. Little did you know at the time when you made the decision to drink and drive, that you would end up taking the life of my most precious gift, leaving me broken hearted. At the blink of an eye you wiped out my daughter's life, and now she is gone. Ironically you are still here. And now by deepest fear is that one day you will do this again to someone else. This is why I am asking you to please accept this personal and private letter from me as my way of asking you to dedicate your sobriety to the loss of my daughter's life. So please, I am begging you, don't drink and drive! |
