Aloha Family!!

I believe that I once posted about a customer and good friend that was having
much trouble with being clean and sober and the ups and downs, ins and outs
of relapse.

Two weeks ago she was bundled up much to chagrin and hauled off to the
rehab program very near to my home.  She was reluctant and once she got
there started to work it.  Myself and some of her friends were glad that she
was clean and sober and in that environment and staying rather than running
away and actually cooperating with the home.

I got news yesterday that she had fainted on the premises and taken to the
hospital.  While there they did a brain scan and found the return of a malignant
tumor on her brain and of course she was discharged from the program and
then from the hospital.  I was told that she will not go thru another operation
and was coming home to....die in her home however long that took.  That of
course also means in the using environment.  I remain hopeful and gave her
friend the address and web page and email to a very successful treatment
program for brain tumors and asked him to check it out.  I am sure he will
I am also sure that whatever happens always is our decision.  I am sure to
see her in the next week and will spend time with her passing on program
ESH. 

Once accepted I fully believe that HP never gives me anymore than I can
handle...as long as I keep my willful pride in check.  Most of the time when
things get really bad I can see where I have been the problem not God or
anyone else.

So the prayers continue as usual...just for guidance and acceptance and
courage to change the things I can after investigation.

Don't stop praying and never stop the gratitude.
