Hello Freinds,
Despite trials and tribulations, I feel pretty good and functioning well. Thank You, my doctors, for doing good work.
Perhaps I can find my way to enjoy life if given that opportunity. The caregiving status quo still beats me down, even with some help. I don't want to go back to old bad habits to feel good (get high; it took a great effort to beat off that demon). In retrospect, when the family was alive and well, we took for granted dances, picnics, dinners, holidays, and birthday celebrations. Now, in a great estrangement, it is just memories (rifts between and loss of people):
"… Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose…"
