Day 16- Remembering 9/11
hi everybody
today is day 16 for me, and i gotta tell ya im definatley in a different place then i was last year on this date. A friend of mine and his wife and little 2 yr old daughter were on one of the planes that hit the towers on 9/11 - last year i was already drinking at this time- This year, I shed my usual tears for them, and am handling it without alcohol.
what a concept, handling grief without alcohol. a new one for me! Come to think of it, any reason,excuse would have me saying "Yup, gonna have to tie one on today"-
i do not need to be drunk to remember my friend and his family. I can be perfectly sober and not retreat into my old selfish ways.
God Bless America and all the families
God Bless the soldiers bravely fighting in Iraq
and God Bless Peter,Sue and little Christine
hugs
