<p>VaBluebird: You are very fortunate. Nothing had an impact on my son, not even being near death multiple times in intensive care. In the words of his sponsor “he couldn’t be saved.”>>>>>>></p>
<p>I’m so sorry. That is heartbreaking. My son’s friend influenced a group of friends, not just my son. They saw what was happening with him and chose not to go down that path with him. I sometimes wonder if that would comfort his parents to know that, to know his life wasn’t totally wasted? Believe me, I think about it a lot.</p>
