Fallen Contest

Lovely lady was my rock
                                           instant hero from birth
                                        fell into the fire of addiction
                                             love became a curse
                                         suicide breaking our bond
                                       broken loyalty, her pulse,
                                             just couldn't respond

                                              My sister, Karen
                                                    30 words

The loss of the 2 boys was a tragic accident LU - sadly when you dabble with drugs you don't know what you are taking or its potency - such a heartbreaking situation for those left behind to grieve:-( hugs Jan xx

I know, and I wasn't sure if I was going to write about her, but she was my hero up until the day she died...
