The Epidemic of Overdosing

I woke up this morning to the news former starting pitcher of my team, Atlanta Braves and standout of my hometown minor league team Tommy Hanson had suddenly died of organ failure. It does not happen to a 29 year old. Turns out he was a little known coke head. His younger brother died a few months ago of the same. It makes three weeks in a row someone has died of an overdose of some kind. Halloween night a girl in rhe graduate class below me back in grade school died of complete liver failure. She was just 26. The greatest softball player to ever go through our high school. What her obit said of a year and a half declining health was due to health complications due to alcohol. Never imagined a girl that made funny faces at me across the cafeteria when we were 6 and 7 and have such potential be the first of the playground group to be buried. Three weeks ago my dentist son died of a combination of alcohol and cocain. He was meant to take his father's business, but drinking prevented that and a return to the area for family support only ended a few months later with a man failing his son and his dash being much longer than his child. Is this happening all over? 3 I knew in three weeks? Ages 26, 29, and 30. It does not make sense and I sorry for the rant it is a part of my recovery from the confusion never having used any or even drank. The dentist son had a dark soul but the sweet softball girl was an angel.I truly hope a foundation can fight it and be nationally known to save people like these three poor souls who lived too short a dash.
