This afternoon I received a phone call from the fiance of one of my very very best friends telling me that she had passed away due to a drug overdose.
This came hard for me to accept because maybe I didn't know she was into this hard of a drug, or maybe it was that I just turned the cheek at it... I know that she has been involved with my children and has participated in recent "Drug use" talks with my children as well.
It really just saddens my heart about the whole thing ... After telling my children, you could see the hurt and the pain in their eyes. My son looks at me and asks me... "Mom how could she say all those things about drugs, when she was using them herself." The only answer I could come up with was Maybe she was speaking from experience and this was her cry for help... I just wish I would have known, maybe then I could have helped her in her time of need and really understood the cries that she was so blatantly screaming and putting out there for everyone to hear...
Too lose someone so near and dear to you is a pain that no one should ever have to experience...
