HI OPRAH
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS EMAIL IS GETTING TO OPRAH BUT IF IT IS I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT A TRAGEDY IN CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS. MY SON IS FRIENDS WITH A SET OF TWIN BOYS. THEY HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE FIRST GRADE. THEY WENT ONE YEAR TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND MY SON HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL. DURIING THAT TIME THEY KEPT IN TOUCH SOMEWHAT. WHEN THEY GOT BACK TOGETHER IN HIGH SCHOOL THEY KEPT TOUCH SOMEWHAT UNTIL JUNIOR YEAR. AFTER THS WE DID NOT HEAR FROM TH TWINS AT HOME. THEY WOULD SEE EACH OTHER IN THE HALL WAY AT SCHOOL AND SAY HI. MY SON WAS IN SPORTS ALL OF THIS TIME AND WAS ALWAYS ASSOCIATING HIMSELF WITH A DIFFERENT CROWD. THE TWINS WERE NOT IN SPORTS BUT WAS LIKEWISE ASSOCIATING THEMSELVES WITH A DIFFERENT CROWD. THEY ARE SENIORS NOW AND A FEW DAYS AGO WE WERE INFORMED ONE OF THE TWINS HAD DIED FROM A DRUG OVERDOSE AND THE OTHER ALMOST DIED. WE WERE ALL SO SADDENED BY THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE THE TWINS WERE AND STILL ARE JUST SUCH GOOD KIDS. THE ALWAYS HAVE BE RESPECTABLE AND GOOD. THEY HAD GOTTEN MIXED UP IN SOMETINGS THEY WERE TOO GOOD GO BE MIXED UP IN. THE TWIN THAT LIVED IS NOW IN DRUG REHAB. HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE THERE, HE IS SO MIXED UP AND DEPRESSED. THE MOTHER INFORMED ME THAT THE INSURANCE WOULD ONLY COVER ABOUT 90 DAYS. THEN HE WOULD HAVE TO COME HOME TO WHERE HIS BROTHERS DEATH HAPPENED. OPRAH WE ARE WRITTING TO YOU FOR HELP. THIS IS SUCH A SAD SITUATION WE THINK IT NEEDS SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. HOW CAN YOU HELP US. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL AT 361-961-2921 OR 361-854-5679.
