Synopsis
Just over a year has passed since I started recording my life in journals. I want to start from the very beginning when life was not worth living. May my fingers be guided in this writinga]. In life there will always be challenges, some big, some small. With a positive attitude all things can be overcome. In the beginning of this year, 2008, I committed myself to the care of my mother (who just turned eighty-five), when I moved her into an apartment with me. My mother spent three days a week at the Meals on Wheels Day Center while I worked. Just a few weeks ago she suffered a fall and a fractured pelvic bone, making it extremely painful to get around. I found it necessary to leave my employment and become a full-time care giver. Today, sober for well over a year and a half, my life is all about the happiness and well-being of Mom. Oh, yes, there are those moments of frustration for both of us, but those moments quickly pass into a new moment and all is well.
