Thanks for bumping this, venuscat. (How do you do that from a closed/previous version of a thread?)

Lunch yesterday was uneventful. We were all on eggshells but acted as if it was a normal Sunday lunch. Our friend looked very thin and tired but she was as warm as ever. I felt she was determined not to talk about her illness. We kept the banter fairly cheerful. In my heart I felt sad and thought it may be the last time I see her outside of a hospital. I wondered what else can I do to help.

Another 24 hours of serenity, patience and sobriety pls. Its 8:39am here !
((((Dear Kaneda)))).

Sending love.

Yay, milestoners!!

Thinking about Dad and Grandpa today- both were vets. Dad never liked to talk much about his service because of those who didn't come back...

(On a happier note- younger daughter got back safely from the mega-gigantic hip-hop festival. Older daughter was checking in on her via 'find my friends' app. Sheesh- ya never stop worrying)

24 more hours please at 9:51 in the driftless zone.

It's going to get easier, Neo, I promise. Things got easier for me when I began to recognize each sober moment as the great blessing it truly was - no way did I wantto give that up. Try to recognize something good in each moment - it becomes so therapeutic.

It's 6:44 AM and I'm in for another sober 24.
Amen.
