I'm sorry to hear about your Dad Dru.
How do we stay strong - we just do....
I put other people first and I be there for them, and they're there for me...
and then when I get a quiet moment I maybe cry a little, get my breath and then go do how many minutes of exercise it takes me to feel functional again.
The one thing I can't do is drink or get high.
That's running away.
I'm not dealing with my issues or anyone elses that way.
I have some experience with strokes. I hope your dad will make a complete recovery, Dru.
