  12. I am in total disbelief…. Well I am so sad I just found out today that a good friend of mine who was with me when I really needed her!! I first met her when I was so dope sick in jail it took her 2 hours to comb my hair out for me, next time I seen her we were housed in Marysville together, then I really thought wow!! when we linked up together after we were transferred to NERC….I was stunned when after I leave prison I’m in a sober living house and in she walks 🤔👀👀 WTH are the chances ? And then the unthinkable happened my daughter was put in ICU for over a month and she was stood by me everyday going to the hospital with me keeping me positive when I thought my world was destroying all around me…. she has a fucking good heart and I wish we were still gathering each other’s meeting sheets.. Yvette Ray I’m in shock and I am in disbelief and then I look at the date it’s the same date as my mom’s funeral after being on hospice, so every year is I’m remembering my mom I will be remembering you too ❤️ girl I really thought you had it you were so strong. I fucking hate addiction and what it does to us 😭🙏 prayers to the family and specially Kia ❤️ my God she loved you
