(first of all, my "words of wisdom" are merely scars accumulated going down
a road that I knew better than to go down----on day 1. It took a HELL of a
lot of horrific pain to break through my stubborn belief structure.)
You DO deserve a life free of the problems you had no hand in creating. That
is so obvious for ME to see in YOUR life! So why did it take so long to see it in
mine? Because I so WANTED to believe. I was willing to put everything at risk
to defend those beliefs------an almost mirror image of the addict doing ANYTHING
to defend her addiction.
You will have ups, and you will have downs. We all do. It's called life. At what I
guess to be approximately twice your age-----I have come to believe it is one of the
more pleasant facts about BEING human. Without stretching the horsecrap 'father time'
beyond it's breaking point-----it is also true that it gets better with time.
BTW, I like your characterization "words of wisdom". It sounds so much better than
"some old dumba** who fell off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down".

"Grandpa!?" (not yet,but hopefully in next 5-9 years)
"What"
"How did you get those scars?!"
"By not being as smart as that other grandpa over there,
the one without any!"
