I am having a sad day today... I lost my mother on 6-5-03 suddenly to an accidental drug overdose. She was 46 years old, and I was 20. I always knew in the back of my mind that I would outlive my parents. I just never imagined losing her so soon...before I got married..had children, things like that. We were extremely close...she struggled with drug addiction her whole life and I was one of the only people that never gave up on her...because she was such a wonderful and loving person..her loving spirit touched everyone she met and she made such an impact on so many lives because of her caring nature...and I knew she wanted to stop the drugs more than anything...it just had too much of a hold on her and she couldn't stop. I think of her and miss her everyday of my life..I know she is at peace with God now...and no longer is suffering from her addiction. So knowing that makes me seem almost selfish in a way for me to still want her here with me. I know she is with me in spirit though. I feel her around me all the time... I miss her terribly. I am new here...this is my first post. I just wanted to share my story. God bless you all
