Wow!! The girls came to our room this morning with this…♥️♥️♥️♥️ They actively love us three grieving mothers, who have lost our babies to this disease of addiction. They all thanked us over and over again for the wonderful trip. What they don’t realize is, it’s really us who are so incredibly thankful for what they all have done for us.

“In seven years, he went from running a theft ring and having a full-blown heroin addiction to starting a family, landing a job selling real estate, and opening a sober home…“ Gratitude – the quality of being thankful. Readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. It seems so simple. Almost as if it should be engrained in each of us from birth. In my experience that just isn’t the case. This one very small quality (or mindset) has … Read More
