I didn’t even get to see him before he died and his last words to me was i love you and all i could reply is bye. And he was in the hospital because of my brother and i.

His medication the doctor gave him made him act different and he tried to get off of it instantly when we told him we didn’t like the way he was acting; he was always sad. But by doing that caused major side effects. so He was in the hospital having withdrawals and at first i blamed him, he ruined the weekend we had planned,and than i didn’t see him for 2 weekends. the weekend before he died he called me and asked if i would come visit, but i was still

Because when all of these steps have been accomplished, then that when you start to notice someone's true beauty and perfection in their own way, that also when you start to notice it about yourself. Now i want you all to think in your head. If you had no arms or legs would you be grateful, would you be yourself, and would you take life for granted, also that this is the best you that you can be?
