MIP family - thank you for your support and prayers as I am trying to be of maximum service to my parents. It's been a significant challenge and I am feeling very overwhelmed. I'll spend time when I have time sharing more but, for today, my mother has been placed in assisted living and my father is reluctantly and grumpily adjusting to a new normal.
My intent tonight is to share my humble gratitude for my brother, from another mother as he and I celebrate another trip around the sun tomorrow. Happy, happy birthday brother - it truly means the world to me that we share the 19th as our day of entry to this world!!!
Love and light to all - I am OK, for today -- and that's what truly matters. (((Group Hug)))

When I found out you were one of the best gifts I could have ever received I thanked HP for his gratitude and I have always felt gifted by your presence in my recovery. 9/19 are special numbers in my life and carry the blessings I have always been grateful for. Thank you HP for this sisters walk into my journey. Sincere blessings for her courage and life and stand with her and her parents during our journey. (((((hugs)))))
What a wonderful thing... to realize you share a birthdate with another who so aligned with what is important to you! I always chuckle when you say "brother from another mother," but you two have made it so!
I am a day late (and probably a dollar short), but I wish you both all the best as you journey along this birth year!
Grateful to have both your voices here!
