In 2025 members of parliament continue to pass laws to control the workers on the plantation called Barbados while they as overseers continue to be above the law and refuse to enact laws to hold them accountable. The plea is on behalf of every person who was killed by a drunk driver and for those who will be killed by drunk drivers in the future.
“One Last Goodbye – In Simple Words
Mom, I went out to a party tonight. I remembered what you always told me—not to drink alcohol. So I didn’t. I chose a Sprite instead. I felt proud because I made a smart, healthy choice. You were right.
When the party ended, lots of people started driving even though they had been drinking. But I felt safe, Mom, because I hadn’t. I walked to my car, sure I’d make it home just fine.
But then something happened that I never saw coming.
Now I’m lying here on the road. I hear a police officer say, “The driver who caused the crash was drunk.”
Your voice feels so far away, Mom. I’m covered in blood. I’m trying not to cry, but the pain is so bad. I hear the doctors say, “This girl is going to die.”
That driver went out to party too, but he made the choice to drink and drive. And now… I have to die.
Why do people do this, Mom? Don’t they know it can ruin lives?
It feels like my body is being cut by a hundred knives. Please tell my sister not to be scared. Tell Dad to be strong. I love you so much, Mom. I wish I could get one last kiss.
Someone should have told that boy how dangerous it is to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had warned him, I would still be alive.
My breathing is getting slower. I’m so scared. These are my last moments, and I feel so alone. I wish you could hug me, Mom, while I lie here dying.
I want to tell you I love you… but I can’t feel anything anymore. Mama… I love you. Goodbye”
