Today is Chris' funeral. It's like losing a son. You might as well say he was our adopted son. Feels like my heart is being pulled out from my chest. Now I have lost 2 children. I should be able to handle this, no how to handle this. I've been through it before. Why do we keep going when it seems we just keep getting slapped in the face over and over again? I miss him so much. why at 24 did he have to die? He had so much to live for. I had so much more love to give. His parents didn't want him but we did. He had been living with us for years now. So many whys but we all know that there are no answers. That hurts too. How do I get through today? I love you my son and I'll miss you.

Katherine -- do you have the oiriginalk bottles that the medication came? If you do this will help prove your case. Also, a letter rom your husbands doctor or even better if he/she would agree to testify at your court date. In either case know that you will be in my prayers.

Here is what has happened so far. The police came to the house and kept us under house arrest until they could get a warrant for a house search. They did not find any drugs in our home from James. But I had a bag of Roger's pain medication in my dresser drawer. He uses this because of his cancer surgery. We had went on a trip ages ago and I forgot I just put them in there. They arrested me and booked me. They could have put me in jail but instead released me after taking my finger prints and picture. I now have a court date for the 24th of August. I need to hire an attorney. No money so will have to depend on a public one. This thing just keeps getting worse.

WE HAVE HAD A CRISIS HERE. JAMES' (our son) FRIEND AND OUR ADOPTED SON CHRIS WERE DRINKING IN THE GARAGE. THEY HAD BEEN DRINKING FOR A LONG TIME TODAY. WHEN I LEFT AROUND 1:30 TO GET MY HAIR DONE CHRIS ASKED ME TO BUY HIM A PACK OF CIGARETTES AND I SAID YES. WHEN I GOT HOME AROUND 4:30 JAMES WAS PAST OUT ON THE COUCH AND CHRIS HAS FALLEN ONTO THE FLOOR. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. ROGER CAME HOME A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DID AND TRIED TO GET CHRIS ONTO THE COUCH. CHRIS WAS DEAD. WE TRIED TO DO CPR ON HIM UNTIL THE AMBULANCE CAME BUT HE NEVER CAME BACK. RIGHT NOW THE HOUSE IS FILLED WITH COPS AND DETECTIVES. THEY ARE WAITING FOR A WARRANT TO SO THEY CAN SEARCH THE HOUSE. THEY SAID THAT WILL TAKE ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS. AS IT STANDS NOW JAMES COULD BE AN ACCESSORY TO A HOMICIDE.
WHEN THEY DO A SEARCH THEY WILL FIND DRUG AND NEEDLES IN JAMES' ROOM. THEY HAVE US IN THE LIVING ROOM AND FOLLOW US EVERYWHERE WE GO, WATCHING US.
I DON'T KNOW HOW JAMES WILL HANDLE THIS. CHRIS WAS HIS VERY BEST FRIEND. HE STAYED HERE WITH US. I'M SCARED OF WHAT JAMES MIGHT TRY TO DO.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CHRIS IS GONE. HE WAS ONLY 24 YEARS OLD. HE HAD HIS WHOLE LIFE A HEAD OF HIM. MY HEART IS BREAKING. HIS POOR PARENTS WILL HAVE TO HEAR IT FROM THE HOSPITAL.
WE ARE SUPPOSE TO LEAVE AT 3:00 THIS MORNING. GOD HELP US ALL.

Laura ~ Since your daughter was killed in an accident, you have the right to request copies from everyone involved. According to the Freedom of Information Act they have to release this information to you as long as you can provide some type of documentation that you are the mother.

As we get ready to move on to another month, I just wanted everyone to know that I am thinking of you all. Even though we may not be having the brightest of days, we are here and there is hope. Someday the sun will shine again. The birds will sing. Until then my thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless

Sadly Laura - this is where the system lets us down - he is her husband - you are her mother how can you NOT be next of kin? Another beaurocracy we could all do without. One of the girls in my group has been waiting for the coroner to hear her daughters case - it was three years in February. In the meantime she is left high and dry with no answers. It isn't fair.
I'm glad you and your husband are able to talk (listen) - some men are not able to and it makes life so much more difficult.
My daughters name is an old Arabic name - it means Eternal Light. Our story is quite complicated and far too long to write here but if you would like to read more about her please visit her website - http://legobeaver.com/meshael/meshael1.html - I'm off to work now so I send you a hug and speak soon xx

Understanding of what happened is all I want. Because I am not her next of kin I am required to go through her husband who is not very communicative or forthcoming with information. Remember, I am in Texas and they are in Alaska. It is just so frustrating! I realize there will never be closure but baby steps moving forward is okay with me right now.
I do talk to my husband and he knows to just listen unless I ask him directly for an answer. I also meet with a behavioral therapist.
Meshael is a beautiful name...is there a history behind it?
Thank you again for being there and thanks for the Angel hugs!
