Made a list of wrongs..... yes... and that list seems to reel off with new remembrances even to this day, as my sober self reviews the tapes of yesteryear. Each time, I try to figure out how to accept, self-forgive, move on....

And all of us must come to terms with those things along the way, or suffer their burden until we do.
