Sad Story, Powerful Message

[Poplife]

This Sunday past I was struggling to finish a take home exam. I phoned work telling them that I would be late. When I talked to my manager she wasn't even phased that I told her I was coming in 3 hours late.

"I'm just glad your coming" she said "no one wanted to come to work today."

When I asked her why she took a deep breath and told me that my twenty year old co-worker was found dead that morning. She apparently died in her sleep after overdosing on E. Her boyfriend heard her making strange sounds in her sleep and when he tried to wake her she just lay limp in his arms. Thinking that she was sleeping heavily due to a night of clubbing he laid her back down and went to sleep. When he woke up, her body had already gone cold. Her heart had stopped beating.

I'm asking everyone here that knows someone that does this drug (or any like it) to please....please...try to discourage them. Today they buried a girl that was just starting her life. She was absolutely stunning, and today a hundred people walked past her casket saying that she looked like an angel that was sleeping. But she's not ever going to wake up.

Like all of us, I know many people that are habitual recreational drug users. However the death of my co-worker proves that you never know how your body is going to take a drug. I know I sound like a school teacher or anxious parent, but I don't want any of you to go through what my co-workers family and friends are. E is not a 'white people drug' like some say. There are quite a few black clubs in my area were you can sell or buy it easily and once it is in your system it doesn't care what color you are. Life is beautiful. Don't gamble with it.

Please pray for her family.

Thank you.
