THIS WEBPAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY ONCE LOVING AND BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER,KARA JAYE-ANNE OTTER.
KARA WAS A SPIRITED CHILD WHO I USED TO WATCH IN AWE. SHE HAD AN AURA, A LIFE FORCE THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN A CHILD.
SHE NEVER CEASED TO AMAZE ME EACH AND EVERY DAY.
KARA WAS SUCH A LOVING AND CARING CHILD THAT SHE USED TO CALL ME EVERY DAY FROM SCHOOL WHEN SHE RECIEVED HER PAXIL JUT TO ASK ME HOW MY DAY WAS GOING, TO TELL ME THAT SHE LOVED ME AND SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF HOW HER MORNING WAS GOING.
KARA WAS A BORN LEADER, SOMEWHAT MISCHIEVEOUS, OUTSPOKEN. SHE WAS A SURVIVOR, OR SO EVERYONE THOUGHT. INCLUDING KARA HERSELF.
SHE ALWAYS STOOD OUT IN A CROWD AFTER YOU MET HER ONCE YOU'D REMEMBER HER.. SHE ALWAYS LEFT A LASTING IMPRESSION WHETHER IT BE GOOD OR BAD.
KARA HAD THAT SPECIAL LITTLE SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW INDIVIDUALS HAVE. THAT LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA THAT SETS ONLY A FEW APART FROM THE CROWD.
SHE HAD AN AMAZING CONNECTION WITH ALL ANIMALS AND SMALL CHILDREN. SHE HAD A GENTLE, AND NURTURING, YET A FIRM AND MOTHERLY WAY ABOUT HER.
KARA WAS THE KIND OF CHILD THAT WOULD DROWN IN A CREEK RESCUING BABY DUCKS OR GET HIT ON HER BIKE ON A BUSY STREET BY NOT PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE SHE WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND. NOT THE KIND OF CHILD WHO WOULD TAKE HER OWN LIFE.
KARA WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING MODELING AT THE END OF JUNE. SHE WAS EVEN LOOKING FORWARD TO TO STARTING HER FIRST YEAR OF JUNIOR HIGH AND BECOMING "13" SO SHE WOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED A CHILD ANYMORE. THAT SHE WOULD OFFICIALLY BE A "TEENAGER".
SHE HAD GOALS AND DREAMS SET YEARS BEYOND HER TENDER AGE OF 12.. SHE THOUGHT SHE'D LIKE TO BE A METEOROLOGIST AND REPORT THE WEATHER PARTTIME ON THE NEWS WHEN SHE WASN'T CHASING TORNADO'S SHE WANTED TO DRIVE A DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE 3 BOYS.
KARA WAS THE CENTER OF OUR FAMILY. SHE WAS THE FABRIC THAT HELD US TOGETHER. SHE LEFT THIS EARTH ON JUNE 7TH 2001 WHILE WITHDRAWING FROM PAXIL.
SHE HAD BEEN TAKING PAXIL FOR 8 MONTHS WHILE WE CONTINOUSLY REQUESTED THAT THE DOCTOR TO DISCONTINUE THE DRUG
BECAUSE IT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT WAS DRAINING THE VERY LIFE RIGHT OUT OF HER.
WE ASKED HIM WHAT WOULD BE THE WORST REACTION SHE WOULD HAVE IF SHE WOULD DISCONTINUE THE MEDICATION.
WE WERE TOLD FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS FOR 2-3 DAYS. KARA SHOWED SIGNS OF WHAT WE KNOW NOW AS AKASTHSIA THE LAST DAY OF HER LIFE
I CANNOT POSSIBLY EVEN BEGIN TO PUT INTO WORDS OR EXPRESS THE SORROW & GRIEF THAT ONE TINY LITTLE WHITE PILL HAS BROUGHT INTO OUR LIFE'S &
WHAT THAT ONE TINY WHITE PILL HAS TAKEN FROM OUR LIFE'S. THAT PILL HAS A NAME.IT'S NAME IS PAXIL.
NOR CAN ANY WORDS TELL HER STORY AS WELL AS HER PICTURES OF THE LAST 8 MONTHS OF KARA'S LIFE CAN.
THEY SAY A PICTURE CAN SAY A THOUSAND WORDS. CAN YOU HEAR ?
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR CHILD OR A CHILD YOU KNOW. DON'T LET THERE BE ANOTHER SENSELESS AND NEEDLESS DEATH
FIND OUT TODAY WHAT YOUR DOCTOR WON'T TELL YOU THE DRUG COMPANY HAS HIDDEN FOR 10 YEARS.
THE KNOWLEDGE YOU LEARN TODAY WILL SAVE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE TOMMORROW. |
