Powerfuly written peice of work and very sad and true as well. Poignant write Linda, love Theresa.

Humanity seems to court tragedy as innocent victims suffer the consequences of mistakes made by others, as time slips by, without any concern. Reality can be so sad and painful when love and commitment go out the window because we succomb to our human weaknesses. A timely and well written piece...

Linda your heart is on the pulse of humanity. Heart touching and powerful write.

You always seem to pin down the realities in life experienced by so many people in their tragedies and struggles. Sadly they cannot cope and turn to either the bottle or drugs & neglect themselves and others in their lives. Beautifully done, Linda

What a powerful write my friend...full of sadness that unfortunatly fills our nation today. So many family's are torn apart by alcohol and drugs. I see it more each year within our children at school, as time goes by little lives are being destroyed by adults whom don't know where to turn for help, other than a bottle, needle, or pill. Sad, but true. Powerful write, the repetition only instills the urgency for help that is so desperately needed...outstanding offering my friend, touched my heart...I think we all have someone within our family somewhere who has felt the cruel hand of abuse due to alcohol or drugs...my husband and I both have extended family members who have and continue to suffer, all we can do is pray for the Lord to intervene before it's too late as it has been for others in the past. Very moving, indeed!
Blessings,

life's unfortunate events pushing people to the extremes ... and time couldn't care less ... happens to every generation ...

well penned, Linda ...

Linda,
This is good and touched a nerve. I lived in a bottle for years and found that the pain, sorrow, grief and everything else forlorn was still there. Alcohol is cunning, baffling and powerful, just waiting to pounce. Great job of writing!
