One of my 25 year old son's friends, a kid he has known since grammar school, passed away night before last. We found out yesterday. It was an overdose but that's all I know right now. Please pray for his family. I am heartbroken for them.
I was talking to another mother of this group of friends and she started talking about how crazy everything is, brought up that so many people in the last year have cancer. We moved to the adjacent town and I had no idea but knew many of the people through the fundraising we all did together more than a decade ago. I said "Please don't get put off I know this may not be the right time, but please don't take anymore of those shots." To my total shock and surprise she said, "Right? It's like they are trying to kill us!" I love this woman. She is a great gal, grew up in rough circumstances and picked herself up by the bootstraps to create a lovely home and great family. But she leans left for sure. It was a terrible day with many more to come. I think about this other family's loss and it is just unbearable to fathom. I am dreading the funeral. But there was a sliver of hopeful on the red pill side.
Those who pass before the rest of us are in a wonderful place, if they accepted Jesus, so don't be too sad. Maybe the question to ask is "when do I get my ticket punched so I can live forever in wonderful mansions". He probably didn't want to pass away, but if he got ahold of some tainted drugs then it wouldn't be totally his fault. Life will go on, his parents will have a void for a long time, but the future is always in front of us and those who are gone are behind us. Look forward and do not dwell in the past and you will stay ahppier.
