its not about the storm,,, but the ablity to dance in the rain!!
notter,,,,, I am a good mom,,, maynot be the perfect one,,,, not even really sure what perfect is,,,,, but life really is not about being perfect,, it's about progress,,,, if only those so called "manuels of the first year of a babies life",, extended a little farther,,, uhm
Sun,,, right on,,,, until my last breath I will never give up hope,,,, through this journey/nightmare, I've learned so much,,, mostly about myself,,,, the things I can control,,, and the things I can not,,,, I've also learned to cast my worries,,,, although I must admitt I have to practice that one daily,,,,, I was at one time,, so totally consumed with my addicit,, and trying to "fix" that I literally lost myself,,,, so behind every dark cloud,,, there is the rainbow,,, sometimes you just have to stop, and look for it,,,,
kim,,,,, Ava is deffinetlyl my ray of sunshine,,, sometimes I learn great lessons in life,, from the simple things that come out of her mouth,,,,, I guess in time,,, our prodigal children will return,,, and if they return to jail,,, my thoughts,,, it must be the jumpsuits that like wearing,,,,
Justf embrace me,,, always remember,,,,
that two steps forward, and one step back,,, we are still ahead,,,
live,, Like its your last day
love Like its the first time
laugh,, until your belly hurts
power of prayer has deffinetly become a way of living for me,,,,
so please continue to keep k in your prayers,,, that one day she will find not only her way home,,, find herself,,, the respect and intergerity that was instilled in her,,,,, she knows she is so loved,, regardless of what she has done,,,,, because at the end of the day,,, she is my daughter,, a sister,, and a mother herself,,,
Unfortunately and as most of us know, the long arm and chaos of addiction reaches into every part of our lives. It shows no mercy, has no set timeline and is 100% non-discriminatory in who it afflicts. But like you, as long as we remain strong and steadfast in our resolve to not give in to it's deceptive ways we too can become a powerful force against it.
Hang in there Kim and be a peace with your decision and know you are not alone. Love-ya across the cyber miles -Cyndee
I made a vow to myself, that I would never allow my daughters addiciton consume me to sickness ever again,,,,, It was exhausting trying to fix her,,, when I was loosing my value of life,,, I have a choice I could sit a wallop, and feel sorry for myself, and become reclusive,, or I can take all the negaitivity and direct it towards helping other parents,,,reach out to other recovering addicits, that their familes have turned their backs too,,,,,
I do have angry moments,, especially when a milestone in Ava's life is taking place,,,, and her mother should be here celebrating with her,,, but it's not the void for ava, becasue she is surrounded by so much love,,, it's the emptiness I feel for my daughter,,,
I have no idea what tomorrow will bring,,, I'm prepared for the worse ( you have to in this crazy world of drugs) I also until my last breath will never give up hope,,,,, I just can not give in,,,,
just keep embracing me,,,,
everyone on here keeps asking what they could do for me,,,,,, well could all move here,,,, that would deffinetly help
love ya
Big hugs!
awhile,,, he is not exactly night in shining armor,,, ( he introduced her to herion)
beantown,,,, thanks I thought it was a brilliant idea too,,, it's funny it just came out,,, of course thats not what she wanted to hear,,
very sad, starting a fresh start,,, thought the same thing,,, what about your daughter,, you family,,,, I believe their fresh start,, is actually running from their legal responsiblites,,,
I'm standing proud,, a mother of beautiful daughter,, that happens to be a herion addicit,,,,
