Letter To Uncle Mike…

It’s hard watching someone you love going through drug abuse. You want the best for them, but they continue to lose the fight. My uncle has been dealing with drug abuse for over 20 years. As I grow older, it’s affecting me more because I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. The drugs in today’s world are mixed with a variety of different substances. I would hate to get the call that my uncle passed away from drugs. Lately, I’ve been thinking about him and wondering if he’s ok. I’m reminiscing about how you taught my sister, cousins, and me how to do roofing when it was 90 degrees or how you bought me my first 2-liter soda and said I could drink out the bottle! At times, I get angry with you because I’m hurt. I believe in you every time, but you always let me down. I find anything I can give you, hoping that it will keep you busy so you won’t get bored or distracted. I am teary-eyed as I write this, hoping you are safe in this cold world. I pray God will heal you from this addiction you cannot shake before it’s too late. I’d love to get another chance to play the video game and eat stacks with you like the old days…
