Life

My best friend called me this morning. When he got up, he noticed his front door was ajar. When he went to check it out, he found his oldest son on the front porch, dead. He was 22 years old.

Thanks for the thoughts Molly. Every parent's nightmare, and this hit me pretty hard. I've known Steve (my friend) since we were in the 5th grade (almost 40 years)!

They've had a lot of trouble with this son for several years. He and his ex-girlfriend had a child last year, and my friend and his wife, both in their late forties, are raising it.

Cause of death appears to be an OD on hydrocodone.
