My Mama will be leaving us soon. We've stopped all treatments for her, including dialysis. She will be gone in a week or less.

My dad wanted to feel numb, and sleep. So Monday night, he gulped down some of my mom's liquid Oxycodone right out of the bottle. Liquid narcotics, down the hatch. He overdosed. The next morning, Sunnie found him. I called 911. When he was at the hospital, he had a mild heart attack, unrelated to the drugs he had taken. He's okay now.

Life is hard.
