Congratulations on 13 years Nandm! I am going thru a lot of legal and financial consequences as a result of my long term alcoholism right now and what you said about the promises really helps.

You're an amazing woman, nandm. Thanks for reminding me that the roses are always there. If I pay attention and look, I will see them.

Thank you for that post. It was honest, and life keeps throwing things at us whether we have 6 months or 13 years.

That was a beautiful analogy just like that rose I am sure you have also had some red rose moments as well.

The impressive thing is that you have not let anything hold you down.

That takes faith and strength.

And it sounds like you have both! Thank you for being a great example to this community.

Congratulations, Nandm!

May you always find the rose amongst the weeds. You are a beautiful flower in the garden here. I hope to bloom as well as you.
