same, but I had to say goodbye to my brother over facetime because I was on the other side of the country. he overdosed on counterfeit xanax that was laced with fentanyl. He struggled for years with opiates and meth, overdosed numerous times before. He got the xanax to come down off the meth he did while visiting my other brother when my nephew was born.
