Trix ... I've just been reading about the drug situation in New Hampshire. I didn't realise it was as bad as that. I came across this: http://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2016/04/13/obituary-for-daughter-who-overdosed-opens-up-about-addiction

Oh Trix ..... that made me laugh!!!! Of course she should know. You are entitled to be behind in things. Your head must be in such a whirl. Is it today you are making the funeral arrangements?

Good morning Trix ...... I think I'd still be crying every waking moment. I just had to look up Mallory Paige. I'm going on a mission for chocolate later. I haven't lost an ounce for 5 days so I'm gonna indulge.

It's not an easy thing for a child that age to take in but I wonder how much of what he says is true. It's a shame you can't speak to g-daughter. It must be hard when they all go home. At least while they are there .... you have a slight distraction. It seems to have been a very ...

I felt hurt that my son lied to me but he said he did that so I wouldn't worry about him. As if we can stop worrying about them. You must have lots of happy memories of your lovely daughter. Is it still on for g-daughter to visit?

That poor girl. Sometimes when someone has been clean for a while ... drugs have a more powerful effect. There is nothing you could have done to prevent it happening. You can't be with them 24 hours a day ... which is what I wanted to do with my son but obviously couldn't. I'm so...
