The Important Things In Life
It's been a little over two months since I've posted and the only excuse that I can really give is that I've let other things get in the way of taking care of my blog. Despite this, there have been several who have been coming here and I do appreciate that. That has been an encouragement to start writing again.
It's been six months today since Daddy died and I thought this would be a good time to start posting again. It just doesn't seem like it's been that long. Six months ago was also a Friday and it's almost like I'm reliving it all over again.
I can still remember very vividly talking to Daddy several times that day on the phone. At least two or three of the conversations were about the bank accidentally putting his check into my account and me telling him I was on the way to straighten it out. I was surprised, but glad, he didn't get upset about it. His attitude then was like "Oh well, things like that happen".
This August 17th will be seven years since Mother passed away and it doesn't seem like it's been that long either.
I'm so glad that I still have my family: My sister & brother-in-law, my niece & her family and my nephew. I'm so glad that I still have my AA family and friends.
I'm glad that we had our mother and daddy as long as we did. I'm glad that we still have their memories to cherish.
I'm also glad that I still have my sobriety. Without that, I wouldn't be able to enjoy all that life has to offer.
For me, there's nothing more important than that.
