A LETTER FROM GRANDPA
My generation just might have been lucky.
I had a drug problem when I was young.
I was drug to church on Sunday morning,I was drug to church for weddings and funerals,
I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather.
I was drug to the bus stop to go to school every weekday.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents.
Those drugs are still in my veins, and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think.
They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, the world might be a better place.
Love,
Grandpa
