First of all Happy Valentines Day to all of you young at heart out there...and for those of you are still couples may you treasure these simple things in life....a card...a hug or even a happy valentines day wish from the one you love.......
I have been having some sad moments of late.....this is a rough month for me...not only is it valentines day but I also had a b-day this month....and even though my kids try so very hard to do nice things for me...there is something or should I say someone missing....my daughter even went out and bought me roses and said, mom I know dad would have wanted me to do this.....of course...tears but, of joy.....
As I look at my life I can see the wonderful things in it....I can also see what this disease did to my life....my heart aches from the loneliness of it all...I do miss him and really today I am thinking...;...this is it you are alone....you will be alone.....and as I know this is alright and I am going to be fine. the heart wants what the heart wants.....
Addiction takes so very much from us....it breaks our hearts.....breaks the bank and breaks the family.
My family seems to be coming thru it all........it has taken much love and work to get here...don't get me wrong there are many days when I just want to scream....teenagers... however most days are happy filled with laughter.....My home is always full...full of hungry teenage boys...lol.....full of life and love.......so with this I am grateful....I just wish my husband could be here to enjoy it all because I know he would have just loved it.
I Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!! I got dark chocolate mints and Liqourish vines...and two pairs of rubber slippers (local formal foot wear) and a very heart soothing card. The last petal on the daisey was "she loves me"...She got a "best" hug and I love you and a bit late and Borders gift card cause she loves to read. You know, late in life this stuff is good for the heart. Hiding the mints, sharing some of the liquorish (?). Happy Valentine's Day back to you. ((((hugs))))
I understand the sadness and joy of this day. The loss and many pains brought about by this disease are numerous. I thank HP for alanon and the tools that have enabled me to find the blessings and love within difficult times.
I am so glad your children bring you such joy. I love the noise and the life of having teenage boys around Busy, excited, planning and just plan living.
Holding warm thought for you and all MIP members this Valentine's Day.
