You told me not to drink mom, So I drank soda instead. 1 felt really proud inside mom, Just like you said I would, I didn't drink and drive mom, Even though others said 1 should. I know I did the right thing mom, I know you're always right, Now the party is finally ending, As everyone drives out of sight. As I got into my car mom, I know 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 1 pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me, And hit me like a load. As I lie here on the pavement mom, I hear the police man say, The other guy was drunk mom, And now I'm the one who'll pay. I'm lying here dying mom, I wish you'd get here soon, How come this happened to me mom? My life burst like a balloon. There is blood all around me mom, Most of it is mine, I hear the paramedic say, I'll die in a very short time. I just want to tell you mom, I swear I didn't drink, It was the others, mom, The others didn't think. He didn't know where he was go- ing, mom, He was probably at the same par- ty as I, The only difference is, He drank, and I will die. The guy who hit me is walking mom, I don't think that's fair, I'm Tying here dying, While all he can do is stare. Someone should have told him, mom, not to drink and drive, If only they'd have taken time, I would still be alive. "Why do people drink, mom?" It can ruin your whole life, I'm feeling sharp pains now, Pains just like a knife. My breath is getting shorter mom, I'm becoming very scared, Please so don't cry for me mom, When 1 needed you, you were always there. Tell my brother not to cry, tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven mom, Write 'Daddy's Girl' on my grave. I have one last question mom, Before I say goodLye, I didn't ever drink, So why am 1 the one to die? This is the end mom, I wish I could look you in the eye, To say these final words mom, I love you and goodbye! - Author Unknown Project to support caregivers CLINTON - A peer support pro- ject initiated by the Alzheimer So- ciety of Huron County, will help improve the quality of life for peo- ple affected by Alzheimer disease by providing much needed re- sources and support services. Funded by Health Canada under the New Horizons Program, this project will serve both caregivers and Alzheimer patients. A respite care program will be established for Alzheimer patients, giving caregivers the time and resources to attend educational and emotion- al support groups. In announcing funding for this project, Federal Health Minister Diane Marleau said that caregiv- ers, most of whom arc seniors, will have access to support and educa- tional programs designed to allevi- ate their own unique isolation and stress. The long term effect of this project will be that Alzheimer pa- tients can remain in their homes longer, as caregivers learn ways to adequately cope with the stresses of carcgiving.

Health Canada is contributing 458,(XX) over two years under New Horizons: Partners in Aging, a fed- eral funding program for older Ca- nadians and those working in part- nership with thmm. Through the projects it funds, new Horizons re- sponds to the needs of seniors in situations of risk or prevents situa- tions which put seniors at risk. The project reflects Health Cana- da's continuing cornmimcnt to maintain and improve the health of Canadians by promoting a broader approach to health and more effec- tive and efficient use of the health system. Funding for this program was provided for in the federal budget and is therefore built into the exist- ing fiscal framework.
