text: Thanks for your courage. I hope your message will help in some way. Your son already has, thanks, again, to you.  I don't think there are ANY moms or dads in our country who would see a life spent 'using' - even recreationally - as something they would want for, or encourage in, their kids. And yet Canada - for all the 'good things' we've got, is strangely affected by our young people being willing to risk their very lives to 'escape' in some way. 
  
  Sadly, your dead son is one among many,  gone, un-memorialiazed by all who might not have known them.  Thanks for giving us all an opportunity to remark on his passing. Whatever it is that some might say 'went wrong', is an affliction shared by a growing number of Canadians - from every aspect of our nation.  God bless you in your grief - Jesus said something particularly about 'those who mourn'. And thank-you, again, for sharing your tragedy.
