Jenny,
My heart breaks for Paul's lost life, for you, and your family.
I can't fathom the pain your parents are going through.
I had an older brother die when I was only 13. He was 22 and
died from an accidental drowning. Yet he had been an excellent swimmer.
We could only conclude that it was the drugs that took him under.
He had been awake for 3 days straight, the story goes.
Tweaked out and supposedly running from something. Straight into the
Licking River. (We're here in the river valley)
My mother was never the same. She drank herself to death, imho.
I had another older brother who was an alcoholic and died from a
heart attack.
It is definitely rampant in my family.
I'm just heartsick over your loss and wanted to add my prayers to you, your family, and Paul's soul. May he rest in eternal peace.
God Bless you, all.
Linda
