Sunday mornin' living

In the Lehigh Valley again and lovin' it!
Dana's party was a success because she had fun! Not because everything was perfect but because it was a wonderful time with some really nice people. Of course I liked all her friends, she picks us specially.

Friday nite was a tough one. AA meeting. Beautiful young man came to me, hugged me, said I made an impact on his life and that he picked up his 30 day chip recently. Josh. 24. Used heroin. He heard a part of my story at a Family Day when I was on a panel. I remember him from that day, he came to me and told me he was 24 and using. Now he's in rehab. Hugged me again and told me to take care of myself. Big part of me celebrates his finding sobriety and a part of me feels selfish and wishes it was my 24 yr old son not someone elses. Rode that wild pony of grief Friday nite and on the highway here. Put it aside for Dana's party. I don't want to pull out that pain again not ever but maybe it will stay aside for another day. And someday I hope to be able to just celebrate someone else's success in sobriety without making it about me, Lonny and my lost hope.

Gonna get dressed, get a newspaper and navigate a Sunday in the LV.
I love being here! I am home.
