bonami

I heard from my RA friend/coworker again today, it was the first real exchange we have had since he began his recovery several months ago. He seems to be doing quite well; he was chaperoning his child's school trip today and I can't imagine he would have been allowed to do that by either his wife or the school, if he had relapsed or was having serious issues with his recovery. He also asked me a specific question about his still unresolved (and very negative) work situation, which I have been sort of waiting all along for him to ask me, even tho I have continued to keep my expectations very low where he is concerned. But the conversation today was another step back towards where our friendship used to be, and I feel good about that today.

So I just wanted to share a small sliver of good news. I do know there are many of you who did NOT have good days today, and I am sending strength to all of you.
