In July 2022, I received a call from my 26-year-old son’s boss. My beloved son, Billy, was a successful construction manager and was living his dream, working on a major waterfront project in Seattle.

Billy had lived with me for a year prior to his death after he broke up with a girlfriend. We found a house for him, and he was launched into his new life. He had been in the new house for three months when we lost him. For the year that Bill lived with me, I never saw any evidence of illegal drug use.
