Obo, ... really hope Pete makes it. Even though he may never get back to where he was, ...it's possible he can find a way to find some meaning and peace of mind if the miracle happens for him. Use that term loosely maybe, but I've witnessed it before, ...in my own life even.
Good on you for caring enough to be there for him , and doing the right thing. What you've done is the 12th step from the program of AA. It's a powerful thing strengthening your own sobriety, and life.
Good on ya, man.
Not much today outside of finishing a long neglected window repair before the first day back to work this evening. Felt really, really good to be working out of my old carpenter's belt .
