Stupid Choices
I just learned that an old friend overdosed a month ago at 31. My cousin passed a little over a week ago today at 36 because of major health related complications. What do these two deaths have in common besides me? Stupid choices!
The Old Friend. She died from an oxy-cod overdose May 7th. She left behind three small children because she couldn’t handle her partying.
My Cousin. He died May 23rd because he had type two diabetes, failing kidneys, a staff infection, and who knows what else. He died because he did not take care of his diabetes when he was originally diagnosed and it created this down hill spiral for 5 years until the day his mother found him dead in his bed… the day he was supposed to start dialysis.
Stupid decisions! Both of them! Aren’tyou supposed to grow up and take responsibility for yourself as you grow older? When you have kidsaren’tyou supposed to put them before any of your wants or desires? Isn’t your health one of the most important things to consider?
Please help me understand why people make suck dumb choices. Leaving behind them hurt and questions of “why”.
