Here she is......my mother, my friend, my all (with her my niece Tiffany Jennifer)! It goes without saying that I painfully miss her but I have endless memories, a wonderful family, and one hell of a support network that kick's my a$& when I need it and cheer me on when I don't.....constant and consistant! I ask myself sometimes would she be proud of me....would she be proud that through all the stumbles and misstakes I still stand strong.....er than ever? The things I have done, places I have been, and people I have met......would it make her happy? Then I think when I was at my worst she loved me the best. So to her it would not matter because her love came with no preferences, levels, deggrees, or stages.....she loved me just because! Loving an addict can be hard and that addict being your child can magnify the pain putting you through one hell of a test. I honesty don't know how you mother's and father's do it but with the mother that I had any addicted child is lucky beyond measure to have you pulling for them from near or far.
Darin mate what a beautiful,strong,kind person yer mum must have been to put up with you LOL.She looks so gracious and worldly im sure she wouldve been proud of you coz you my friend are a admirable,fantastic and wicked man......when i say wicked you know im referring to that sense of humour that you so boldly posesse.......and the other lady in the pic isnt too bad lookin either can ya hook me up coz Keilis has dumped me.....oh! she will be back im sure but im getting tired of being her lil secret far from the eyes of the press and media..LOLLOL.
Take it eze bro ............Davey

Darin, you are a blessing to parents who visit here. I was thrilled to see a pic of your beloved mother...how strong and beautiful she is, and her smile speaks volumes. I needed to hear this right about now.
Last night was a rough one for my daughter...two days without sleep, anxiety, mental BS...but she went to a meeting. Shortly after she left I had this quick flash accompanied by the stomach-drop...'she won't make it, she's going to use'. I battled through it rapidly, talked good talk to myself and sent her a text message, "I think you're doing great...keep it up...you'll get there." Doing that made me believe. The return text: "Thanks mom, I love you." I haven't felt particularly loved by her in recent weeks...but I know she does.
I'm so grateful for comforting, uplifting friends like you~MomNMore

MNM,
You, like your daughter, are in for one heck of a ride. One that comes with day's of un-certainty, crippling fear, doubt in both self and her, and so many more mental battles. One false move and we could be right back to square one or we can take each day for the gift that it is and try our hardest to "get it right". It all comes down to the choices we make and if we try to make the right ones then we are half way there. Through all of her pain her love burns bright and as each layer is peeled away it will become more abundantly clear to you and herself as well. Keep doing what you are doing and know first and formost that your daughter could not be more luckier to have a momnmore like you!
ATB ALWAYS!,
D!

Bryn,
Thank you sweets! It's so funny my niece called me the other morning and said I wanted to be the first one of the day to tell you I love you and it put such a great big smile on my face and a soing in my heart. I say this because there was once a time as much as she loved me she would not want to be within 3ft of me. After we hung up I cried a little because at that very moment I was reminded of how lucky (rather blessed) I was. When I am around my family I enjoy every minute because for some time I took it all for granted. This brought me to the reason all this came to be....my mother. She would be so proud of her kids (grans and great grandkids as well) and because of the love she gave each and every one of us we are able to carry on. "God don't make no junk" was a line I heard her use most and allot of times that is just what I felt like but even at my worse mom treated this piece of junk like a percious jewel. Thank you for your kind words B!
PS.......I feel OLD (LOL)!
Davey,
LOLOLOL......let the hunt begin........we will show Kellis:~)!
Jack,
From one brother in the struggle to another THANK YOU!
ATB...ALWAYS!

Dear Friend, I came across this saying, and I wanted to pass it on:
"Perhaps they are not really stars in the sky...perhaps they are openings in the heavens where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."
I'm sure your Mom is shining down for you.
