I just got a call to tell me that my friend, Pam, died today. She was a serious prescription addict for most of her life. She went to rehab many times but it never worked. Many doctors wrote prescriptions for anything she wanted. I am not sure why they are so easily conned into giving prescriptions. Some people abandoned her as the addiction got worse. That hurt her badly but not enough to make her stop. Some people loved her and just let her do her thing. I wish someone could have stepped in to stop her. Although I realize that no one can stop an addict from using.

This morning she didn't wake up. It wasn't anything intentional. She took too much or the wrong combination. I'm not surprised that this happened but I didn't see it coming. I will miss her so much. And I feel so sorry for the husband and children she left behind.

I'm flying to her funeral on Sunday. I wish I had a good way to pay my respects. There just isn't much to celebrate about the last years of her life. There was a time when her future was bright and she was happy. She was a good, caring person. I will try to remember her that way.

P - I love you! I will keep you in my heart! RIP
