Touched by angels


The A never contacted me to wish me a Happy Birthday nor Happy Mother's Day. I checked my e-mail and someone I never thought would wish me a happy birthday did. He said he hoped all my dreams come true. I started crying because he had no idea how much this meant. I had plans to visit my Mom today. My stepfather is an A and is usually not emotionally present. I got to my Mom's house and my stepfather was whispering about my birthday cake. Wow! I never thought he really cared. We had such a wonderful time celebrating family and being together. I made a wish and blew out the candles. I can't tell you what my wish was, but God knows. My mother gave me a card that had me crying. It basically said that you will miss all the miracles in life if you don't stay in the present moment. I had given her a book about miracles and another gift for Mother's Day. It seemed like little miracles were happening today as long as I stayed in the present and aware. Today was a wonderful gift. I am so grateful for my children, my family, my Alanon family, and my HP.

Funny thing about miracles, what makes them one... is you never dreamed it possible. smile.gif

I am so glad you had such a wonderful day. Is the miracle in the appreciation they had for you, or in the fact that you felt so fulfilled by it.

For me, not being in a fog all the time and seeing the great things happening around me (not even just to me) is the miracle.

Happy Birthday/Mothers Day !!!!

Take care of you!

I am so happy that you had a wonderful Mother's Day and Birthday!! 

For me, this was the first mother's day in years, where I wasn't dissappointed.  I did get a call from my qualifier, but it was manipulation and I didn't bite.  I had no expectations and enjoyed myself the entire day.

Here's to many many more Mother's Day and Birthday's where you are touched by angels.

Love in recovery,
Leetle
