I am sorry for your, and your family's loss, Altoids.

I am so sorry for your loss and the sadness it has caused those that loved her. I often wonder why I was spared. I could have been your sister in a heart beat but I guess dieing an alcoholic was not part of the plan. The only conclusion I have been able to come up with is maybe through me others can live. I pray that my words and actions might just be the thing that keeps someone sober today.

God has done for me what I could not do for myself and I know giving back is what I need to do. By giving it away I keep it

Thank you all so much for the kind words and private messages. I told some of the responses to my mom. Knowing that my sister's story may help someone else live is what matters to us.
