It seems I see or read something that's either totally negative, focusing on how people screw up their lives and deserve what they get, or totally emotional, focusing only on the results of a lifetime of choices. When the whole story is really both. To show the whole story could serve a valuable lesson for young people, too.

How a person got that way, though, doesn't mean a person shouldn't be helped in the end. As I said, we helped our sister. Well, not all of us. Some refused. But thank goodness for Medicaid, or I guess she would've died.
