So, she'll be home tonight.

I did find out a friend of mine passed away last night, though.

Sad to hear, Happy. Hoping your friend passed peacefully and wishing you the best after losing a friend. Is never good to lose someone especially a friend or relative.

Sadly, I found out after posting this that my friend's death was ultimately her own doing. She accidentally overdosed on some drugs. The thing is, I talked to her the day she passed. Found out she started using again, and asked if I could help her with anything, knowing she's just gotten out of rehab. I've struggled with addiction over the years and learned if someone reaches out, take it. Shame. She was only 21.

Sad to hear, very unfortunate way to go. Wishing you the best, want to say more but words are eluding me at the moment. Hoping that we don't hear of a similar fate for yourself or that if you are in the situation again you are able to intervene and the same result doesn't happen again. Hoping she (your friend) is in a better place. Not sure if you are religious. I'm not deeply myself. However, I like to think we all see something in the end that makes this time we spent here not a one shot and that things continue in one form or another.

I've used with this girl in the past. I've been trying to sober up lately. She called me this week, to party. I declined, said I wasn't down to do that and wanted to get my head straight. I asked her if she relapsed, since she was in rehab lately. Wished her the best, and she passed the next day or so.

Wisened me up. Someone that close going for stuff I used to like to do. I'm going to the funeral Tuesday.

So, mom's home. Been sleeping a lot, due to the medication. She's got a physical therapist checking in, making sure she can walk and such, has an appointment at the hospital this week to go over the x-rays and such, check on her bones. Got a hold of the lady who ran her over, and a lawyer. As of now, I don't think she's gonna sue, but the lawyer's going over everything, just in case. Precautionary. Figured it's not worth it, cause she'd likely only get $5,000, but after taxes and lawyer fees it wouldn't equate to much. Although, she is quite cranky lately.

As for the funeral tomorrow, ah. I don't quite know if I can go. I've been to far too many funerals for someone who's only 27. Another one on my list. I should at least stop by the church and such, to talk to my friend's sister. Feel badly for her parents. I couldn't imagine losing a kid. Then again, she made her decisions. It smartened me up, hopefully her other friends stop using as well.
