Thank you does not seem strong enough for the amount of love and prayers that have been shown to us during this difficult time in our life. I am going to be transparent about this journey now and in the future because I cannot let this painful journey be in vain. Addiction sucks! I can only speak from my perspective as the family member dealing with the addict. As I’ve been on this road, I am learning it also sucks for the addict. I know that God is going to use my pain and maybe bring hope to another family going through the same thing. This journey must be talked about because being silent lets addiction win and I’m not going to let that happen. I have always held feelings in, out of fear, wondering what people would think. I said I would be transparent and that’s what I will do. My brother was very giving and did so without hesitation, especially with his niece and nephew. As the addiction controlled him, he became homeless and passed away with only the hand me down clothes he was wearing. I am filled with a range of emotions from anger to total sadness. With the range of emotions, the anger wants to say the heck with it but that isn’t who I am nor was I raised like that. So with tears in my eyes as I type this, I want to be able to give my brother a proper burial. If I don’t, I can never completely heal. If you feel led to help us with these unexpected expenses, we have set up a Go Fund Me. I am thankful for each of you for standing in the gap for us during this time.
Love,
Kenny
