OxyContin Awareness


Name:Angela Miles Email: State: Type:Death Story Date:6/4/2002	On Sunday April 29th, My little Brother Nick Morton 21 had died in his sleep because of oxycontin. He was out the night before with his friends they were golfing eariler and went Bowling later that night. Yes, he had a few drinks he was 21. The friends he was with didn't give him the pill. He had gotten it off an older person, who he thought was his friend. This older person knew how dangerouse this pill is. He has been getting them priscribed to him. And selling them for money. I never heard of this drug untill my brother had died. He was a hard worker, he went to work everyday. he loved life. And he was full of smiles and laughter, which I can still hear from the golden gates. He was one friendly person, That would make you feel welcome in a heart beat. He loved being with his family.If we were in the most pissed of mood he would get us to laugh in matter of minutes. He was the most adoring person you could ever meet. And I'm not just saying that because he's my brother. I truly believe Nick did not know how dangerous this drug really was. If he did he never would have taking it. I know that, I know my brother. We were very close. He just didn't know. He wasn't educated about it. He just thought it was a pill and nothing was wrong with that. I mean, I hear things.I'm only 25. I never even heard of this pill, Like I said before. So how would he know what he was getting into. The person that sold it to him didn't tell him. Because he really didn't care what happend to his life as long as he's getting the money. For crying out loud they never even atteded his funeral. Nick sees everything now, he knows who's his real friends and aren't. Nick loved football. His dream was becoming a pro, and he could have done it. He was not ready to die. I miss his hugs and his kisses. I miss the great conversations we had. riding in the car together, having holiday suppers. Just hanging out at the house bull shiting. Listing to him telling us his jokes. dancing silly Our family has a big hole in it. And will never be filled again. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. Everything remindes me of him. If I even see some one that has the same build as him I get chocked up. I cry late at night when I'm in bed. In the car. I just wish I could make him come back. This pain hurts so bad. We played games when we wee small and played tag and hide and seek, and grew to hang out together when we became teenagers. and adults. Everything reminds me of when we were kids. Its like one big bad dream that I just want to wake up, but I can't. Know one knows the pain till you lose somebody you really really love. People say they know but they don't. If you know of any body who is doing this PLEASE get them help. and be open with them talk. I loved my brother very very much and nothing can bring him back nothing. Hes gone forever till that one day God calls me home then we can walk in hand to hand together. Thank you Ed Bich for this Web site. We have learned so much from this. In Loving Memory Of my Little Brother Nick Morton I love you Bro. XOXOXO your sis Ang

Name:colleen Email: State: Type:Death Story Date:6/2/2002	I am a 16year old girl who lives within hurt and pain everyday. On April 29,2001 my big brother Nick Morton,21 died from a overdose on oxy's.He was full of life,a smile that ran for miles, his laugther can still be heard,he would never turn his back on a stranger,was always there for his family.He was the greatest person ever.I never got the chance to tell him how much i love him,let him know how proud i was for him.I am upset with my brotha for popping that pill instead of him living life,i am mad within myself for not being able to help him get help,i am pissed off with the state police from Wyoming County for not busting the person who sold the pill to my brothe,i hate the guy who sold Nicky the pill.But then again i need to try to look past all that anger that i hold inside and remember the memories that my brother and i shared,remember that there are still teenagers, young adults that are still abusing oxycontin in my small town, only a population of 767 and many other states and small towns. No one will ever know the pain that i go threw untill you lose someone who means the world to you.So hear i am now asking you that if you or someone know of anyone who is abusing oc's please get them help before it's to late.My brother and i just started to form the bond that i always wished for but yet it was still to late.Please get help,i wouldnt want to see a family go threw the pain that my family goes threw everyday. So please remember life is only short if you let it be and you are the person by which the action you take.Don't be stupid,if you can save a life then do so.REST in PEACE BROTHA.You will never be forgottin,I love and miss you dearly.-Y
