I've learned that the son of a cousin has died. We've been fortunate in not losing any of our young people...the last child to die (Dad's side of the family) was little Tammy in late 1968 or early 1969. She died during surgery to try to correct a heart defect.
This boy is the only son of Judy and Alan...evidently it was a drug overdose...so very very sad...Alan has been out of the country...he and Judy have been divorced for years...I don't know how long...Alan is my cousin, but Judy has always felt like the real cousin...my heart breaks for both of them...but as a mother I just cannot imagine what she is going through...I have no idea what I will say to her...
I hate drugs...I hate that our young people get involved with them...I hate that we can't seem to help them...
