I think about him daily, my girls got his ashes, they are grieving in a way where no matter what I do or say, I cannot make their pain go away. I wish I could. They are 14 and 12 and they are hurting so bad. Kids growing up in addiction, regardless of what is going on at home, they know. They might not know all the details, but they KNOW.

I have dreams about him. I cannot imagine what my kids feel. But then I think about the fact that he could have died when they were home (they went to his house every other weekend). Seeing their dad overdose I look at my children and see so much good that is from him in them. They are his creations and he will always live through them. I know its hard to accept this, but everything happens in its own time. He is no longer in pain and my children will never find him dead on the floor. They will remember him as an amazing father.

I know it's so painful and hard now, but you will be there for your son, and your husband will always be a part of your life.
