180 days

Six months ago I was watching my sons father being carted out of the house and into an ambulance for a possible overdose.  OVERDOSE!  What?  Really?  The world in that moment moved in slow-motion, hit with tunnel vision, vertigo… I could hear ever pump of my heart racing to keep me standing.  As I turn to the house, there stood a boy who once laughed without fear of the future now wide eyed with fear.
