Happy Birthday Dad… Losing you and Rob within nine months of each other has profoundly changed the course of my existence, and it has led me on a journey of finding purpose and meaning in life. Thank you for all of the important life lessons you taught me while here. The most important one being… don’t ever pass up an opportunity to tell people what they mean to you and how much you love them. I was blessed to be … Read More

A message from Tim Webber… On May 19, 2002, my very good friend, Joe, died Sunday after the Preakness. Joe loved horse racing; in fact, a racehorse was named after him. He was my best friend in high school, and years later, while there were a few separations due to moves and life, we remained best friends until the day he passed. As an Atholton High School junior, he won the state high school golf championship, known as the Junior … Read More
Today I had the pleasure of delivering lunch to the Sykesville Police Department. I went with Lauren from the health department and two of my girls from the sober homes. The girls got to share their stories and thank the officers for all they do to help save people from fatal overdoses. What an absolutely amazing community we live in!
To all of the beautiful ladies at Keeping My Serenity…. Thank you for making me feel so loved today. I love you all very much 💗 Amanda, Kristin, Jen, Lacee, Sylvia

Without love, understanding and compassion, people will never receive the help that … Read More
Rob, every year I light a candle for you at the Annual Drug Overdose & Prevention Vigil. This year, the 7th, my candle was also lit for the children of the beautiful friends that you have brought to me, the people that you have sent to me to try and help that have lost their battles and for all who have died from the disease of addiction. The Vigil is a reminder that our community stands together in unity. Hosted … Read More
Ciara McVicker was a recent resident at Reclaiming My Life. She relapsed at the house, and we sent her back to treatment. Unfortunately, she lost her battle to addiction last night. She leaves behind a very young son. Rest In Peace and Love, Ciara
I often post about all of the gifts that Rob brings to me; there are too many to count. However, it is difficult for me to talk about the pain. Last Thursday, I spoke at Wesley Freedom United Methodist Church’s recovery service. There were many people there who were struggling to get their lives back. I found myself feeling safe enough to get vulnerable. I talked about the pain…. There is no coming back from losing a child. I’ve been … Read More
