*hugeinternethugs* praying for you and your family, MIR. Thank you for sharing with us. Sobriety isn't always lollipops, unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes, it's enduring pain, soul wrenching sadness and fear while desperately trying to find the serenity in the situation. One of the most difficult things I've come to understand is that living sober means that I don't get to run away from fear and pain anymore. I have to deal with what life throws at me when it throws it. The good thing is, when you don't run from your pain and fear, it can't chase you down. We look at life and accept it as it is. It is hard and it can be deeply painful and sad. But when pain and fear can't chase you, they don't get to become the boogymen of our lives. They instead become part of the tapestry of our lives.

You're in my heart, MIR and I wish you and your daughter peace. Your sobriety in her time of need is a beautiful gift to your daughter. Any woman would be proud and grateful to have a daddy like you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through! The only consolation is that sober you can at least be truly present for her for however much time there is left. I wish you both the best.

She will be at her mother's house for as long as is possible. Hospices involvement is for at home medical and psychological support but thanks for the idea

Thank you all for the out out pouring of support it means a lot to know are sending prayers our way.

Special thanks and prayers to Desypete and Firefall who have lost a child and made it out alive and sober. Although we may never understand why our loved ones are taken I hope it gives you some understanding to know you have helped me more than you could know. I hope someday I can return the gift to another traveler on this hard road.

Thanks again
