I'll remember you

I'm so caught up in things to really realize just how many people I know suffer with alcoholism.




I know it's a common thing, but seeing my friends like that really puts me down. You'll do something with your life if you want. You'll be remembered forever, because everyone is. Everyone has a part in the history books, just some bigger than others. Maybe your struggle right now will help your kids, grandkids, relatives get through what you're trying so hard to do right now. Maybe they'll pass it on through generations.

I know I blog a lot about my mom's problem, but I guess I just kind of wanted to take the time to show that I don't just care about her predicament. I guess I just don't see this side of my friends enough to realize how things are going. I hear about them, sure, but I don't see them.

I sincerely hope they make it through this. I hope they don't end up as bad as my mom, or my grandfather, or the people you see on TV. I hope they can find the strength in themselves to stop. I hope they know I'm going to love them though, even if they can't break it. I'll support them through anything they do, as long as they try.

I love my friends. I really, really do.
