Think About Those Left Behind-A Memorial to Our Daddy
In Loving Memory of our Daddy,
Our only purpose, our one greatest hope...
is that others will learn from our sadness, feeling our pain, we urge you to share our tears with others, and encourage you to remember our daddy's death, so your family will never walk down similar paths as we must today.
Think about the loved ones you'd leave behind if your life ended the next time you decided to get high..
Dedicated to our Daddy...
..With our love we shall heal our broken hearts, Wiith faith we shall give to each other strength so we may comfort one another, Our courage will allow us to heal as we help others.
Love, Faith, and Courage give us hope that the pain will be less than today's
in the tomorrows that follow...as we share our story of sorrow & pain, enlightening minds of others, letting them feel the reality of death and destruction that Crystal Meth can bring into their life, through the death of a user, an addict whose life was ended by a drug known to many as Meth, to others its called Crystal, Ice, Glass, and to most simply called Speed. We are letting others know, that no matter what you call it today, or what others in the past know it as on the street, the fact that it still kills, is a fact that we feel everyone should know!
We celebrated our daughters 1st Birthday, two weeks later she attended her daddys funeral
The last thing our daddy said in his life is written in black & white, printed on his death investigation report. We had to wait over 3 months just to find out the reason for his death. The death certificate was left blank for the most part, the words "pending investigation" filled the other parts. The months and minutes during which we waited, wanting to know what happened, guessing the truth from the first day we heard, our head knew it was drug related, but we could admit to it, not in our hearts, and more than either of those circumstances, we really did not want to even know at all, in our souls. Your family will also wait in agony and live with sorrow should your fate be as our daddys, each death that is without a known cause such as a history of disease progress (such as cancer or AIDS), known illness or injury that clearly gives evidence to the cause of death, or by witnessed event, (such as violent crime, trauma accident) by someone who watched you die, or admitted murder; is sent to the County Medical Examiners Office for a complete death investigation. This report will reveal every last detail about you inside and outside, from what you last ate, when your last bowel movement was, and what drugs you consumed, how much, how many, what type,and the effects of each one on your body, each organ, each cell. The results are a picture of truth, a complete and honest account of your life, one that you had lied about to your family, and left them to worry, and now face facts, truth that you denied while you were alive. Each chemical you used, every last high you had will be on black & white paper, a death certificate for your family to live with for the rest of their lives. It's obviously too late for our daddy, but you still have a chance...don't leave your family living with this..think about them, think about us next time you decide to get high..
Animal models predictive of human behavior were researched under conditions of unlimited access, (24hour availability to meth) and were found to self-adminster in cyclic patterns, just like humans. The study further revealed that given an unlimited supply of meth, the animals will self adminster meth until its toxic effects cause death. This study also provided the answers to questions related to users habits increasing over time, costing them more to get high and using more and more just to get high over time.
The final determination was finally made and this is what his death certificate will forever state, the last thing he said in his life. leaving us behind in his drug abuse and addictions to the drug that finally killed him, crystal meth-THINK about this before you decide to get high just one more time. It could be the last time you do...and the last time you are here with your family and friends.
So, you think it won't happen to you, Well, do you think my daddy thought it would happen to him? Probably not, just like you think it won't happen to you, it might, just think...it could be you...just like that, your next high, could very well be your last.
