This is kevin Murphy,
I remember Jason and scott very well,jason was the older one,me and scott went in on the same day Jan 21,1989,Jason came in shorlty after,He was quiet like his brother but i spent many nights with him in host homes and when he was quote on quote rebellious,he was very kind. I remember he was over 18 and tried many times to sign out of kids but was kept against his will,He made several c.o.c's to staff and was ignored. They were both in for over a year.Sad to say i never heard from them again after kids but suicide is a sad way to go ,they say it is selfish but it is not,They just don't see a way out.If anyone who was in Kids feels this way don't do it you are not alone,and thanks to Kim for this site you can post a message and I know we will all reach out to you,This year was a tough one for me and my family,This wed 9-11 I will be at ground zero to mourn my uncle who was killed.He was a ceo in tower two and kids told me I could never talk to him again cause he drank with my father years ago.Because of Kids The relationship between My father who is still sober almost twenty years(Dad You rock)and my Uncle kids Forbid the friendship so Let me tell you it was my Uncle who wasn't an alcoholic who helped my father achieve sobreity after 32 years of heavy boozing and helped him achieve success,Now he is gone and I miss him so much I cry almost everyday when I am in the city,if he were alive today he would say I love you live your life,if they say you can't do it fuck em kevin prove them wrong cause you can as I know all of you can.Scott if you see this may God be at your side alittle longer,Jason God knows only the love you give and it is love that sets us free,I choose Life.Let us all be the voice ,hope is eveything. God bless all of you
