HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN.
Mum.
A True Friend Has your Back, but that doesn't mean you ACT like a gang member! It means you are there for them when they are truly in need of someone to listen, to stop them from doing something stupid etc. A lot of you were Austin's friend How many were True Friends? How many of you right now can turn to each other and call your self that now to those still here? How many are still doing drugs or turn your head when you know someone is? How about posing in a photo with someone doing Gang signs? is that cool? Did you really think that was who Austin was? That was drugs NOT AUSTIN!! he was not a blood or a B ~ when do you truly stop and say enough is enough and dig deep within yourself and save a life, I mean we did start "TEAM BURROWS" for a reason didn't we? we either have Integrity, Respect, Character and foundation or we don't & your word means SOMETHING OR NOTHING!! there is No in between!! Austin fell short at the end because of drugs, not because he lacked intent, he had no one to say enough...they turned their back and talked alot hoping it would go away, I could have got him help.. I should have known more than I did but I too fell short and now we need to do something for those still here! Austin's death is going to be for nothing if we don't make a change, and now.. what will we do when we get that next call with that oh so Familiar name and we all drop to our knees? I am trying and I can't anymore, they won't listen to me.. I "Failed" my son but you all can.. Please don't turn your back.. if he/she is anything to you from elementary school thru today.. memories.. do something before it's too late Again. His Mum
He would always know how to make me smile!! My last christmas 2008 he and his Brothers came to Olympia where I was living at the time, and wrapped a crap load of stocking stuffers and stuffed my stocking to the hilt.. They know how much I loved snow people and they made sure I got more lol I will never forget that xmas ever, and my heart breaks at knowing it was my last with him... When it snows I will think of him always
