In a place that used to be empty.
My mind was so foggy from years of drinking, that I honestly don't recall loving my son as much as I do right now. I mean, he seems so special and I've beein so unfair and absent his first 4 years.
I think only time will mend our relationship; I never want my son to remember me as a drunk, but as a great father and mentor, capable of steering him well clear of the temptations and nasty habits that I struggle with even now.
With clear and focused eyes, I look at my son, and the kingdom of my heart quakes with sheer love and joy.

Solid memories from my childhood start around Kindergarten, so don't be too hard on yourself about the past. You have a clean chalkboard on which to create good lifetime memories.
My daughters nine and I never got sloppy drunk in front of her, but I was all to often a lazy, boring, no fun dad the next day. I have much to make up for.

My son saw me sloppy drunk more times than I can count, in his teen years, so sad, but
our relationship is the best it has ever been now that I'm sober.
He just turned 26 and I will spend the rest of my life setting a good example.

Good stuff June. I am a better wife, daughter, friend and looking forward to being a wonderful mom. We are all simply better people in sobriety.
You really moved me. Thank you.
