It’s always one day at a time forever. I’m very familiar with the walk you’ve both been walking. Nine years were in the dark but 31 were in the light of AA. Being there affects lives in concentric circles because the damage of the dark affects many; especially those who’re closest. It’s a privilege to walk beside someone who’s in recovery because you find you’re growing too. My recovering late husband taught me so much about growth and allowed me to do so along with him. I’m a big believer in angels crossing our path when they are most needed. My sweetheart was mine. When his work was done, he left us; many of us and the world is now a bit darker. But there are other lights in the world now; your sweetheart being one of them. So I’ll say Happy Birthday to your bright light Mary Katherine. May you both celebrate many more one day at a time.

Beautiful tribute! Congrats to him! I'll be at 17 years this coming August, and it really does feel like all those years were a completely different lifetime I survived.
