Life is too Short
I went to a viewing yesterday for my friends little brother, he was 18 and died of a drug overdose. I never got the chance to meet him but I hear he was a nice kid. It is really tearing up my friend and his mom, she has already been through so much then she had to get this phone call. She is a very strong woman. I don’t know if I could handle something happening to my brother or sister, it makes me tear up just thinking about it. Things like that are not suppost to happen, especially not so young with so much potential.
Life is too short to waste it away on drugs and parties. Think of your mother next time you do something stupid and dangerous, do you really want to put her through that? I sure don’t.

People on drugs rarely think of their mothers. That’s because drug users tend to only think about themselves. That doesn’t mean they don’t have brief moments of clarity, they do. Unfortunately, during these moments they only reflect on their problems and self afflicted woes, and not the heartache they cause.
My little brother caused my parents a lot of grief. He never realized it until he became clean and sober. It took the loss of several of his friends to overdoses, to discover the epiphany that led to a sober life.

That sucks!
My nephew died in a car accident a few years back. He and his friends had been out “celebrating” their upcoming graduation from high school with some drinks. They crashed a few blocks from his house.
I can’t tell you how ticked off at him and his buddies I was to cause the entire family such pain.
