ny friend james passed away dec 20th 2007 at the age of 20. we had been good friends since i was in the 7th grade. sadly at the time of his death we werent too close. he lived 2 hours away from me at the time and i didnt get to see him except about once or twice a month. he died from a heart attack brought on by mixing cocain and heroin. he wasnt really an avid drug user. james was always very lonely for girls. he had a gf that he had recently lost his virginity to which was a big deal for him. when she broke up with him i heard that he had told poeple he wanted to get really fucked up that night. i guess that meant mixing hard drugs to cure the pain in his heart. i wish he woulda picked up the phone and cried on my shoulder or one of our other friends coulda been there for him. sometimes i feel guilty for being too wrapped up in my own life to have seen the problems going on for him. anyways no-one is sure exactly what happened or who sold him the drugs.
the person that was there with him left and didnt call a hospital when he started shaking. the next morning his roomates found him, he had thrown up blood and it was coming outa his mouth and nose. he was barely alive with alot of brain damage done. so much that he had to be put on machines to be alive and he was brain dead. his family waited to pull the plug untill all of his friends and family had come to say goodbye. at his funeral i have never seen so many of my friends in one place. we were all there to comfort each other. sometimes i have dreams about him and even tho they make me sad when i wake up grateful for them. anyways i thought id share this heartful story for anyone whod read it. ill love and miss him forever. it makes me feel good to tell people about him. he was a very good friend very funny and u could count on him to be there for u. anyone who knew him loved his personality. rest in peace james.

That is very sad. Your story touched me.

There is nothing you could have done, you weren't to know, don't beat yourself up about not seeing him as much as you liked. It just happens.

I have beat myself up about things like that, that have happen to me. It has made me realize that we do have to keep in touch even just briefly, just to let the person know that we care.

There's a lesson for all of us, somewhere in there.
