I am grateful for the delicious dinner my daughter and husband made. I am grateful for my 3loving children, my friends and sister and brother and wonderful grandson and beautiful daughter in law.
Thank you for your helpful words.
Im so sorry for the pain you are in. Your post is beautiful. I think it is important to remember the "good things" we each have in our lives. Sometimes we allow addiction issues to smother all the joy in our life. Our loved ones would not want this for us, and our sadness wont bring them healing. We need to see the joy in order to stay strong and healthy. Prayers going out to your family tonight.
