My friend needs your prayers
My friend (and my principal) just lost her son today to a heroin overdose. He just got out of jail last Wednesday and his parents moved him to a sober living home when he got out. He died at a local Starbucks and they found the syringe in his pocket. He was a great young man. She and her family are suffering so much.
Our headmaster called me right away to go over to be with her. I lost my son to a heroin overdose a little over a year ago. I know what she is going through right now. It was for me to relive my own son's death but I so want to help her through this. I did what I could tonight to help her and answer her questions. My heart is breaking for her and her family. I am asking for your prayers tonight for her and for her family. Right now I am very angry at a system that allows drug addicts to leave jail with no mandate for rehab.
This is such an insidious disease, so pervasive. It is almost hopeless. Parents are so helpless in the face of addiction. My daughter calls heroin "liquid evil" and I have to agree.
I am sorry I am rambling here but I am very distraught.

My prayers go out also, for your friend, her son and all who loved him. Also, special prayers for people like you who know the pain of losing a loved one to the horrible disease of addiction. Words cannot express what is in my heart for those who must walk through this pain.
