I went to work as usual when I had a cousin race to my place of work and said somethings wrong with my uncle… I raced down to his house to see what was going on. I rushed through the door and I had found him overdosed on his Livingroom floor my heart felt like it shattered. I had nightmares of that day replaying over and over. He had struggled with addiction most of his life and being in and out of jail but myself and parents were his main support system through it all. The rest of my family seen him as another thing that they had to take care of or deal with but I would say that is an automatic to help when someone is struggling with addiction by themselves. So this tribute is to my uncle who was like a brother to me. I love you and will miss you everyday, there is never a day that I don’t think of you.
love, your niece
