    Jimmy, why do you insist on shaming your family. They say addiction is physical but I believe it is a choice just like everything in life. Get busy living or get busy dying the choice is yours.

    Now all she has to do is get some cash and bail him out because he didn’t mean to. He’s not a bad kid and jail is scary. The phone will be ringing.” If you love me you will get me out of here. Drop the charges and I promise I won’t do no more drugs “. Don’t do it Grandma.

    I would be willing to bet grandma has given to him and given to him over and over again and this is the thanks she gets. — DRUGS — I’m so sick of drugs !!
    I pray he don’t get out and come back and hurt grandma for calling the law !
    Friends and family y’all keep an eye out for her .

    …and that is how to raise a civil human who respects others…or who will regret it when caught! We need more parents and grandparents like this!

    Grandma I’m sure he broke your heart but you did the right thing. Hopefully he’ll get straightened out and it will break his heart that he did that to you and he’ll live right. He just needs Jesus.
