Glad to hear your goddaughter reached out.
I think mourning loses is a part of life - from friends and chances to just the time we had that's gone for good. Dwelling in those loses is different than mourning them. It's important for me to see what I gained from losing and from living, to be grateful for whatever things I was able to hold and let go of. Nothing in life is promised but that it ends. Makes me very thankful to know I get to live out the rest of my days sober enough to appreciate it all.
Thank you for the post and the reminder.
