Hi Raven everybody seems to think that just because I use the picture of my son Jason and he was a friend of Christopher Robinson and they were only 5 days born a part on November 5th and 10th 84 that it was my son who who crashed the car in The Wiz and passed away from the overdose it was actually Christopher Jason passed away but it was from a car accident and thanks for your wonderful review in your kind thoughts and have a nice Thanksgiving if we don't meet again talk to Ricky 1024 review coming through the review through my cell phone with grammar issues running sentences and no punctuations hey Elaine thanks for your review on addictively yours yes two stories are sad especially when they involve the death of children according to religion from the age of a top you're considered it an adult and responsible my son passed away from the car accident he was 18 considered legal age that vote but not Gamble and drive Christopher died later he wasn't believe he was 26 he knew better any new much better than he should at his age and he did not do what he should have done the mother didn't do what she should have done and got him into a rehab instead she put yourself in a rehab in another state and this kid goes off the deep end when he breaks up with his girlfriend and that was into him maybe that's why Brenda did what she did you know in the end it's a shame to know that happen to know that I took this woman out on 3 dates but of course she was quite ill stating after I asked her if she wanted me to help her clean the outdoor cement swimming pool and she said no that her and Lauren would take care of it and then when I asked a few dates later if she is done and she said yes and that night when I left at 1 in the morning I went past that pool no still filled with leaves and green slimy water thanks for this doctor Ricky

I am in awe. Heroin overdoses are epidemic here on Cape Cod. Addiction seems to be so prevalent in our society. I am sorry for your daughter's involvement. Your story shows the ripple effect of addiction and how many are affected.

Sorry to hear that Elaine I was actually born in Rhode Island not far from the Cape Cod area and where the Kennedys lived I was also born in the Naval Base so while there's another link to the Kennedys that way I'll be interesting to know if any of the Kennedys past or present wherever born there thanks a lot have a nice and wonderful holiday dr.

I must say, if your story is based on true events, you lead a very 'colourful' life, filled with tragedy and interesting characters.
This is well written.
I wish you well and good luck with your future.

Hello Ricky
You know how to make a reader feel the emotions of how as you say The Devil is the one who lures one into to temptation of getting addicted to drugs or alcohol
Like my dad

Comment from samandlancelot

Good

Ricky,

Glad to know you love your Lord. I didn't know Tom was a believer -- Yay! You have obviously suffered in many ways, which shows up in your writing. I think your stories could be more powerful if you spent more time editing. You have talent, but the mistakes interrupt with the flow of reading and makes it hard to understand everything you are trying to say.

I have learned not to blame Satan for the horrors in this world or in my personal life. As with Job, in the Book of Job, Satan needs permission for everything he is allowed to do. With Job, God was preparing him to hear things from God nobody had ever heard before, and to take away Job's fears.

When evil takes place in our lives, we need to see what God wants us to do, since He is the one who chose to send the evil one against us. When we blame Satan, we end up looking at him instead of God. If you keep your eyes on God, you will see pieces of Him in every horrible situation, and you will know Him more than you ever could have if He didn't allow the evil in your life. Everything I have suffered has changed me in ways that take control away from Satan and gives more of me to God. And I can always eventually see why the evil was necessary, and it is always worth it because of what God gives to me of Himself in return.

"By the name os (of) Christopher Robinson."

"Not only was , (remove comma) she seriously involved with the disease of alcoholism but she had a mental illness

"Now, Brenda Joy had wanted toviewed (to view) the body at the funeral home against the wishes of Bob

Mr. Riggs as a friend (delete 'friend') personal friend of mine he help me when it had came to my rescue firstly...

Brenda was supplied (was supplied what?) for free and had some ownership throughout the United States."

"I started to put the puzzel pieces together when she told me thay (delete 'thay') she had cleaned the pool,that Summer we had met?"

She retreived the gun from under her pillow a gin (gun) that she was going to use to kill the person whom got Christopher

She opted to do a year and a half at County Jail as well as a hslf (half) year at "Etna May's State Woman's
Prison up North." addicted...

I appreciate your your thoughts and your concerns and review of this piece which was to point out three examples of problems with this world and believe me I do not need an education on religion as I am a Latter-Day Saint priest with a Church of Jesus Christ a poet and also a prophet the RS were caused due to the fact that it was written out on a cell phone so of course there's going to be mistakes that I didn't catch I didn't use the Spell Catcher because it's hard to determine and utilize on a cell phone so try it and you'll notice when I'm talking about the print is incredibly small I just reacted it this and found even more Ores like the word of spelled wrong in places that needed more punctuation or changes of punctuations I also reacted a couple sections of one of the ones you were talking about and rewrote it it's truly worthy of a at least Blue Ribbon or and possibly an all-time best is it is a wonderfully and seriously written piece reread it and maybe then you'll enjoy it and give it a little bit better thought when it comes to the content and not the grammar note there are Young Writers on this site writers that have been born actually in the 1990s in an even earlier they need to be educated on the errors of their writing when it comes to the way they construct the poem The only time I will give a good or 4 star rating to a piece from somebody like that if it's horribly in grammar I just did one actually yesterday written by 17 year old suggesting her to use the spell checked greatly enhance her writing in my situation it's actually the other way around but I appreciate your time and thoughts and reviewing this perhaps I can return the favor someday
