THIS IS AN ACTUAL INCIDENT
>
>On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to go to the supermarket
>to buy the remaining of the gift I didn't manage to buy earlier.
>When I saw all the people there, I started to complain to myself:
>"It is going to take forever here and I still have so many other
>places to go..."
>
>"Christmas really is getting more and more annoying every year.
>How I wish I could just lie down,go to sleep and only wake up after
>it..."
>
>Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section, and there I started to
>curse the prices, wondering if after all kids really play with such >expensive toys.
>While looking in the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about 5 years >old, pressing a doll
>against his chest.
>
>He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked so sad. I wondered
>who this doll was for.
>Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him:
>'Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'
>The old lady replied: 'You know that you don't have enough money to
>buy this doll, my dear.'
>
>Then she asked him to stay there for 5 minutes while she went to look
>around. She left quickly.
>The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
>Finally, I started to walk towards him and I asked him who he wanted
>to give this doll to.
>
>'It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this
>Christmas.
>She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.'
>I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her after
>all, and not to worry.
>
>But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to her
>where she is now.
>
>I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her
>when she goes there.'
>His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My sister has gone to be with God.
>Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought
>that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister My heart >nearly stopped. The
>little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mummy not to go >yet. I asked him to wait
>until I came back from the supermarket.
>
>Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He
>then told me:
>
>'I also want mummy to take this photo with her so that she will not
>forget me. I love my mummy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me but >daddy says that she has to go
>to be with my little sister.............
>
>
>Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
>
>I quickly reached for my wallet and took a few notes and said to the
>boy.
>
>'What if we checked again, just in case if you have enough money?'
>
>'Ok' he said. 'I hope that I have enough.' I added some of my money to
>his without him seeing and we started to count it.
>
>There was enough for the doll, and even some left over. The little boy
>said:
>
>'Thank you God for giving me enough money' Then he looked at me and
>added:
>
>'I asked yesterday before I went to sleep for God to make sure I have
>enough money to buy this doll so that mummy can give it to my sister. He
>heard me.
>
>I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mummy,
>but didn't dare to ask God too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll
>and the white rose.' 'You know, my mummy loves white roses ' A few minutes
>later, the old lady came back again and I left with my trolley. I finished >my
>shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get >the little boy out of my mind.
>
>Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago, which
>mentioned of a drunk man in a truck who hit a car where there was one young >lady and a little girl.
>The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical >state. The family had to decide
>whether to pull the plug on the life-assisting machine, because the young >lady would not be able to
>get out of the coma.
>
>Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with >the little boy, I read in the
>newspaper that the young lady had passed away. I couldn't stop myself and >went to buy a bunch of white roses
>and I went to the mortuary where the body of the young woman was
>exposed for people to see and make last wish before burial. She was there, >in her coffin, holding a
>beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the >doll placed over her chest.
>I left the place crying, feeling that my life had been changed forever.
>The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, >to this day, hard to imagine. And in a
>fraction of a second, a drunk man had taken all this away from him.
>
>Now you have 2 choices:
>1) Send this message to everybody that you know.
>2) Or delete it and act as if it never touched your heart.
>If you send this message, maybe you will help prevent someone drunk to
>go driving.

i feel sad right now. Cops should do more partoling instead of eating doughnuts all day and bull shit.

[jason2004gt]

That is a sad story! It is very touching!

[Jenni_lee]

That's a very beautiful and touching story. Thanks for sharing that.

I just wish it hadn't been ruined by someone making a uninformed blanket statement on what they think police officers do with their time.

[sicboy]

they should start handing out 20 years for dui. it is a serious crime.

[02BlueStang]

luckily states have begun to crack down on drunk drivers and actually have patrols designated for finding such drivers....They however cannot catch every single idiot who chooses to drink and drive....

Its not the police officers that are not catching them, it is people who allow people to drive in a drunken state after witnessing their behavior before they get behind the wheel of a car.....Police officers can't catch everyone, but with the help of the general public they can certainly catch a lot more...If you see a drunk driver, dont hesitate to call 911 and take 10 min out of your day to call in a license plate, follow the driver or simply stop them from getting behind the wheel....

Ive called in numerous people who I have caught drinking and driving, including friends.....

[Fastest302]

im sorry about my comment about the police officers but where im from thats how they are they dont do anything thats y my city is bad on stuff like this.

[yosemiddysam]

Wow that story was sad. I got a lil chocked up but im man enough to admit it. I could see that happeneing too. Put yourself in the womans shoes. What would you have done? Would you have even noticed the lil boy? This is why the world is so messed up anymore. Noone cares for each other. Thankfully this woman did!

Last year a kid who just graduated from my High school was walking down the side of a road and a woman came driving down the road and hit him, she only slowed down a bit and then took off, the boys friends he was walking with remembered the number and told the police when they arrived. The boy died later that night. When the police found the woman who was driving, about an hour later, it was found that she was driving drunk, on a suspended license, and for vehicular homicide. She was found guilty on every count. She is in jail now for the rest of time.

[YsOffcr]

That is a touching story.

Why is it that people think it is ok to drive home after drinking, People say oh he does not live far from here, But those people are the same people that later say man how could he do that. We all know we make stupid choices when drunk i know i have. We need to help each other out and not let each other drive when we are like that or hook up with people we know we should not. Point being i feel bad for what happend in this story and the people that it hurt but we need to watch out for each other and take control of our self cause no matter what cops can not be everywhere at once to keep us from being too stupid. If ya drink do not drive, just pass out where ya are.

[mustangfreak123]

wow, very sad story, if you're going to drink, please don't drive.....

[sliminatl]

Damn, that's a touching story. I've got goose bumps.

You see and hear far to many stories similiar to this. I'm sure we all know of or are even related to someone who has been killed or injured by a drunk driver. Unfortunately I know far to many, one close to my heart is Cobra94's mother-in-law.
Instead of forcing airbags and shoulder restraints, why doesn't the government force a alcohol testing device in all cars. Well then again that would hinder them to much. Don't be stupid, who cares if you get so F'n drunk you ruin you or your families life, but have a little compassion for other families and children like this who will grow up with no mother. Don't drink and drive.
