Though Your Eyes
You Guys are Truly Amazing. Robert Jr. (B.J.), Mandie and Dominque. I lost my mom to alcoholism. It was the hardest thing to get through. Alcoholism does run through your family, but you have to trigger it. All those times you go out with your friends and have a few drinks. You found out, you can drink your friends under the table, or so you though. I’m 26 and going through a divorce. My girlfriend and I would go out occasionally on a Friday or Saturday night. One night I reach that limit when my alcoholism is triggered. Not knowing what I just did, I soon found myself having a drink or two at home after getting my children to bed. I though it helped get me to sleep, so I wasn’t up all night wondering what went so wrong in my marriage. I was looking for anything to help me forget. My drinking seemed to happen when matters of the heart where involved. I would drink for up to a year, then put it down until the next heart breaking event happened. Though the years my drinking just got worse and worse.

In The Distance

I need to know how I can help him. So with that, I watch. He must of stayed there an hour. A child’s journey in finding himself. That night as we had dinner, Chad talks of being alone. With family being all around him. But, that’s not the kind of alone he was talking about. I asked him if he felt alone and he replied, no. When we die we are all alone, is what he was thinking. We talked about heaven. He asked, does everyone have there own heaven? How do you mean? Is heaven what each person thinks it is. Is that the place they go to? You know what, I have never thought of that before. I think of living in my higher powers house with family that has pasted away. Chad wanted How do we know if they think of us, when there gone? I told him about my search for loved ones who had passed. In my search, I found a story of dragonflies. I was told of a beautiful saying that when a dragonfly was near, you have a visitor of someone who has passed away. They are checking on you. With that I told him the loved ones we have losts have not gone away, they fly beside you everyday. However, maybe your signs are different. It’s what you believe. With wide open eyes here comes a smile.
