Before I stopped drinking 33 years ago, I didn’t know if I had the capacity to love. (All I felt were drunk or angry)
Often, I need to remind myself that when my heart is breaking as I watch a loved one die, that I do have the capacity to love. I can’t be heartbroken unless I have loved first.
My mom was with me when I took my first breath, and I was able to hold her as she took her last breath.
I was with my mom alone too when she went to be with the Lord.
