"The Day"...2 years ago today my beautiful boy died of a fentanyl overdose.

His friend drove him to a guy's house and waited in the truck. Jordan came out and within 2 blocks, he was nodding out. "He didn't know".

His friend drove to a fast food place and Jordan could barely stand-up while waiting in line. "He didn't know".

His friend dropped him off at another friend's house; he stumbled out of the truck. "He didn't know".

Jordan walked in the house and said he felt sick. "She didn't know".

He went to the bathroom and stayed there for 3 hours. "She didn't know".

She heard him snoring; she thought he was sleeping; he was dying. "She didn't know".

When he stopped snoring, she attempted to open the door but his body was against the door. "She didn't know".

She eventually got the door opened and saw that he wasn't breathing. "She didn't know".

She called 911 and attempted to save his life. "She didn't know".

He died on that bathroom floor.

"They" didn't know the signs of an overdose.

The young man came to our home a few days after Jordan died with a half-dead orchid he picked up from Safeway. He was hysterical; he was beyond sorry; he truly didn't know. I believe him.

The young woman came to our home a few months after Jordan died. She cried and asked for forgiveness. She truly didn't know. I believe her.Jordan was in recovery for 3 months. These two young people were friends from high school that Jordan reconnected with during his recovery journey. They had no knowledge of what an opioid overdose looks like.

PLEASE take every opportunity to share the signs of an overdose. I lost my son and will remain heartbroken forever. The young man and young woman will spend the rest of their lives feeling the emotional pain of "not knowing".
