Hopeful, I can't help but ask myself 50 times a day, "Why?" Why didn't I see? Why didn't I ask more questions? Why didn't I push to get him somewhere quicker for treatment? You have no idea how much I miss that kid. What I wouldn't give right now to see him and just hold him. It tears me up so bad I can't stand it. My heart goes out to other parents who have lost their children. Up until now I only imagined your pain. I have to believe someone will give up the lifestyle because of Chris losing his life. If not his death is in vain, there's no good thing. If someone would come up to me and say, "I loved Chris, I quit the drug scene, " I would be so thankful. Don't give up hope. Chris didn't want us to know. He was ashamed. For those out there so quick to judge, please stop and think what you're saying. You're only hurting those already in pain. They need to know there's someone listening and is willing to help them. Please continue to pray for those battling their own problems. Please.
Thank you so much for the great advice Brenda and Tired and worn out. I truly believe things in life happen for a reason. Hopefully Chris' passing can lead others to make the changes they need to in their lives. I know for sure that it is helping me. Inspiration from others is the best motivation. Unfortunately my mother has a bit of a "substance abuse" problem, but thank you for being concerned. Unfortuantely we cannot just fix all the people with problems and it is truly sad. Brenda you cannot beat yourself up over the "what ifs". Chris was a fine man. He was just a victim of the situations. He was a very loving and kind person, that means you did a wonderful job. Fortunately his life can serve as an inspiration for others and perhaps that was his purpose. God works in very mysterious ways. Keep the great memories of Chris at the top of your mind.
To hopeful,I have been thinking alot about you and wonder how you are. I sit and think about things I never did before. I still believe in God and I know if it weren't for his love and my wonderful, caring friends and family I would be totally nuts. I still blame myself for Chris' death because I didn't try hard enough. I never knew how deep he was in. I didn't see him for weeks and he wouldn't call and I'd worry and then he'd call and tell me something I wanted to hear. I'm saying this because to those who have loved ones on drugs, do whatever it takes to save them from themselves. You can't fix it after they're gone. We don't get second chances. To those who knew Chris and loved him, please get your life on track. Don't let his death be in vain. For those of you have kids, stop thinking of where you're going to get your next fix and think of your child and what you're doing to yourself and your family. You're not alone. Continue to pray for us and each other especially those on drugs.
