Tell us what they were like before they developed a substance use disorder*

Funny, loving, practical joker especially with his mother, good father.

Tell us about their struggles with substance use disorder

Corey struggled with heroin addiction. It turned him into a person he didn’t want to be. Corey did 3 separate rounds of rehab. The last being the most promising. Unfortunately he lost the battle after 7 months clean.

What made them smile?

Being with his family.

What do you miss the most about them today?

I miss him more than words can say but I also miss what he is missing out on with his kids. Every milestone is marked with happiness and sadness because he is not there.

If you had a chance to say one more thing to today what would it be?

I love you, I miss you, and I forgive you.
