((Mavis))
I pray that you find comfort in your memories of the joy that the two of you shared, and I pray that Michael is finally resting in peace free form this horrid disease.
I too love an alcoholic, and even though an ocean separates us right now, it doesn't hurt any less to know when he is drinking and that there is not a damn thing I can do to help him.
I don't know what else to say. Thank you for sharing with us.
