Cause there wasn't ever anything I could do about it which drove me insane.
My present wife told me this morning that when she was coming home from down town she turned a corner and saw a woman walking on a town side walk with a larger parrot on each shoulder, a puppy in a shopping basket and another on a leash. I knew who she was speaking about and had to ask anyway and sure enough it was my first addict wife. "Dear God I prayed...keep her within your sight and reach and comfort her". done!! My wife also went on to tell me the colors of the parrots and I hushed her cause it doesn't matter and that falls under the guidance statement of gossip and criticism that we read at the end of our meetings. I will spend a few nother minutes later on for her. She just has no concern about the picture it presents and I guess it really shouldn't matter to anyone else huh? (((hugs)))
(((Jerry))) - prayers from my neck of the world too.....positive vibes as well. I love your compassion for your first wife - to me, that speaks volumes about your program, your heart and your kind soul.
