I'm mommy to 5, ages 12-37. Last week our prodigal son almost overdosed on heroin. It's been a long, uphill battle with drug addiction. Lot's of days I can't see the bowl of cherries. Thank you for reminding me that even when we can't see the good stuff, it's still there.

I know it is a difficult day, but try to remember how blessed we were to have your mom with as as long as we did - that your children all got to know her and were old enough to be able to remember her - and that she no longer is having to endure the pain of this world. I love you and I admire your strength and resilience. I snap too and then wonder how I could have done so, being the person I am (well, maybe the person I want to be). Hugs.

Being real is the key, in my opinion, to really succeeding at life. Anything less than genuine is by definition NOT REAL LIFE - so I thank you for always just sharing your heart as it is. You are amazing!Sunnyhttp://www.sunnyshines.myplexusproducts.comnoreply@blogger.com
