Augie Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Sorry for your loss. That is awesome to come in new and immediately address this tragic loss. It's an issue much deeper in our society than most people realize. Through Danny we can help others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theClaw Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 This past Friday afternoon, my son Danny lost a long battle with addiction. My heart has a gigantic hole in it that is only getting bigger as the hours go by. Danny was (as some of you that met him) a kind, funny and gregarious boy...he never lost those qualities. He tried to beat his demons over the past 6 years, and was temporarily successful for months at a time...once over a year! He never wanted that life and hated it, he never gave up...My family and I never gave up on him...we loved him so much. Friday I got the call that no parent ever wants to get. He will be coming home for the last time later this week. Not the homecoming We ever wanted. He was a life long rabid Bills fan. Proud to be a Bills fan. Wore his Bills colors in the heart of Dolphin territory...we texted each other all game long, shared the victories and the defeats...planned to come this this years tailgate. Now that's all gone. My plea to you is to have compassion for people in his position, they don't want to be there...they hate it, are ashamed of it...and sometimes just can't escape it. I miss my son and best buddy...I'd gladly change places with him, he was so young so much to live for. Please say a prayer for Danny to finally be at peace. I too lost my youngest daughter to addiction (herion) DeAnna graduated from High School one year early doing a two plus two at our community college and sometime in their got hooked. Found her OD'ed three times last time did her in. Happened on October 1st 2016. I still call her name every morning getting ready for work. She only made it 71/2 months past her 21st Birthday. Yes I will pray for you and your family. The firsts are difficult, 1st Thanksgiving, Christmas, just celebrated her birthday February 16th with her mom and our only other daughter. Have felt better after that. The anticipation of the day was worse than the occasion itself. We belong to the club no parent ever wants to be in. The sense of loss, the void is very difficult. I pray that God heals your heart and mind as you look to him. My deepest sympathy, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Very sorry for your loss NG. No parent should ever have to say goodbye to a child. Know that we as a Bills community will always be here for you. Know that Danny and your entire family are in our prayers. Know that you and Danny will someday be reunited in a place free of pain and filled with joy and wonder. May God watch over your son always.

Well done, Simon! Being able to articulate anything beyond some greeting card hyperbole is beyond human art form. I applaud the way you phrased that in this time of grief.

I'mBuff Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I passed over this thread many times and finally decided to read it this morning. Now I sit at my computer, when I should be getting to work with tears in my eyes. I didn't know you or your son, but have had enough loss in my life to know what you are going through. I've also seen enough people, friends & family battle addiction to partially understand what you & your son went through. Losing loved ones in my family at a young age I can tell you the pain or loss never fully goes away. Time may dull the pain, but you will always be reminded of it. But maybe thats the way its supposed to be, maybe thats how we keep their memories alive and with us. Take care, I hope you find peace with this sooner than later....

I know a couple of ppl I am close with that has/is going through this same thing. I have a 9yr ol son and 7 yr old daughter I could not imagine losing either of them. Just thinking about it is hard. I hope you and your family get through this very, very tough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
