    What's news love? Praying everyone is well, in good health and happy where you are. My family and I are all doing fine and feeling blessed that we can all be together here in Peru. It's been quite a while for some of us. When I get back, it'll be straight work & school non stop, so I'm enjoying every minute now that I can. :) Hope you're ok, let me know what you've been up to lately. In the meantime...

    Hi, I am glad I found this profile on myspace. There needs to be more like it to help educate parents like myself and our children. I lost my 26 year old son on February 29 from acute inhalant abuse. He was the oldest of my 4 sons. He was smart, he worked 40 hours a week plus many side jobs, he was engaged and by all accounts he seemed happy. We never saw any signs that he was abusing inhalants. More specifically, Dust Off. I am just now learning how deadly this stuff is. Its not a matter of if it will kill you, it a matter of when. The last time I saw my son alive was the Sunday before Christmas. He looked awful and said he had just gotten out of the hospital with pneumonia. Later we found out it was caused from inhaling the Dust Off product. I also saw my son at the end of October for his 26th birthday. He was high but we did not notice until we had our pictures developed. Take a look at my profile. I have a spinning picture cube on my main page. He is the one with the Asian girlfriend. I want everyone to know his name is Ryan, I loved him dearly and he died from acute inhalant abuse.
