It's time...
I can't sit back and watch it any more. I have to say something.
To whom it may concern:
I don't understand you. At all. I am going through one of the hardest times of my life right now. I have to live the rest of my life with out my bestest friend (physically) by my side. And up until last week, for almost 2 long hard painful months, I had to do it without knowing why she is gone. In case the word hasn't spread as fast as the word of her death spread through this town let me be the one to fill you in. The cause of Vicki's death was alcohol poisoning. She had too much in too little of a time and now she isn't here. And now I sit and watch as everyone else does it. Her "best" friends go out and drink and party. The night of her funeral people went out drinking. For what? Did it make you feel better about yourself? Or did you feel that guilty that you couldn't even walk in for the services on Saturday? How can you go out and do this? YOU ARE NOT INVINCIBLE!!!! This could happen to you too. How do you get to go out and drink this all away while I sit home and cry. What do you think about before you go to sleep? Do you even remember going to sleep at night? Because I cry myself to sleep every night, well at least the night I actually get sleep. Maybe before you take that next drink you think about what you had to do 2 months ago. When you had to stand next to Vicki laying in a casket. I don't want to have to do this again. You've got your chance. Why not take up on it?
Okay, realistically, I know that this cannot stop everyone from ever drinking again. But you have your second chance. You have something to learn from. Why not take it up? She didn't get this chance. She didn't have this lesson to learn from. But you all do. So for her, do it.
Maybe this will help save a life, or two.
This one's for you Vicki. I love you and miss you.
Always,
Jaimie
