I too read the letters to the editor in this morning's Courant and found my way to this touching obituary. I cried when I read it. My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved son. Thank you for your courage in confronting that his loss was due to heroin addiction. I hope that it will raise consciousness that this horrible affliction can happen to anyone's child. Young people are curious and think they are invincible. Heroin is cheap and not hard to get. So much more needs to be done to support addiction services; there is no 28 day cure. I believe that Nicholas is released from his struggle and that his obituary has contributed to bringing a greater awareness of the terrible toll this is taking on our young. May you find peace and comfort in your heartbreaking loss.
