Hey Flyers Fan,

I am from the philly area, actually right across the delaware in Burlington cty,nj. first thing my heart goes out to the Reid family. about your question, i don't believe he was raised wrong. i would say a good portion of people who get hooked on pain meds, etc, are actually people with legitimate health concerns, who don't know what their getting themselves involved with. thats how it happened to me and many friends, sports injuries, car accidents,etc.opiates are no joke. anyone who thinks they can play around and not get hooked is mistaken. do it for an extended period of time and your done. was that Garrett's reason i don't know but its noway to go out, a father should never have to bury his son or daughter. I read in the local paper this morning Andy said Garrett lost his 8 year battle so i am assuming it was opiates. Andy Reid seems like the type of guy who will give his family whatever is needed to succeed but is still tough. thats a father's job. Andy can only do so much, once your offspring venture into the world you just pray they make the right decisions, its all you can do. teach them and let them spread their wings when their ready.
