Relationship to Loved One

Parent (Biological, foster,step)

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

He was my brilliant son who loved computers and meatloaf with mashed potatoes. He knew so much about so many things. He was an avid reader and retained so much knowledge. He was a very important part of the family.

Tell us about their struggles with substance use disorder

Michael struggled for 7 years with heroin and opiates. He spent time in hospitals and three quarter houses and never stopped trying. He spent time in Ann Arbor and had been "clean" a year before he used again. That was the last time he used heroin and it killed him.

What made them smile?

Animals, books, friends, family, computers and cookouts.

What do you miss the most about them today?

Everything! His eyes, talking and laugh.

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

We love and miss you more than I can say.
