Looking back on the beginning, and a lifetime of reflection



I was standing with my bags, my brother, sister--n-law, mom, and my seven nieces and nephews all standing in the living room of my brother's house. I had been sobbing all morning, full of fear. This was it. I was 47 years old and had been in a disastrous marriage, and 2 sick live in relationships. Plus a failed fling with a woman. There was more insanity but I'm saving that for later. No police or law enforcement, just a decision I made to save my life.
 Beverly had come to pick me up, she was from AA.

"Mom", I tearfully said, "please take care of my baby"
"Suzy you know I will", mom said.
. My baby was an 11 yr. old chihuahua named Sophie. I hugged all the children, reluctantly hugged my brother and sister n law.
Then it was time to go. Sitting in Bev's car, I had remembered a song, an old Styx song. "Crystal Ball."
I'm going to share it with you, the reader. Listen to the words because that was the mindset I was in.

 


More will be revealed...
