Hi Larry,
A wonderful uplifting post. Your granddaughter must be so pleased that you are attending her very special event.
The devastation this addiction causes touches so many, be it the major financial damage, or the small absences that are noticed by our loved ones.
The financial damage is far easier to deal with. There is always money to be made, through hard work of course!! The time lost to family members is something we can never replace and although it may be something we dont focus on at the start of recovery, i believe that as we grow and discover the person we always were, it is these precious moments that stand out as our major ‘losses’.
While i live with regret every day, i also use my now ‘logical’ brain to make time for those who suffered the most during my time in action. I love that you have ensured that you will be there for your granddaughter. This is a big event in her life, and im sure having her grandfather there makes it all the more special to her. To be able to look back and remember that you were there is more precious than all the money in the world. What a wonderful gift you are giving her Larry….you!!!!!
As for your last post, what can i say? My god bless all who were taken and who were touched by this terrible event.
Take care, Kathryn xxxxxxxxxxxxx
