Even though you were drinking when his mother passed, I am sure you were a wonderful comfort to him then as well. I respect your honesty about that time and really appreciate your reflective words and spirit. Thank you so much for sharing. Also, congratulations on your continued sobriety- that is awesome.CrawlingWalkingDancinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838140012726909732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496458200245645063.post-44691954625138617552016-04-11T06:37:13.858-07:002016-04-11T06:37:13.858-07:00Thank you!

It's so good to see how you can be a great support to your husband. One of the amazing things about being sober is how available to yourself and others you become. I'm sure you were a support in earlier times, too, but I'm also sure your husband is grateful that you're so present with him during this difficult time.

He told me he was proud of himself for being present to help his mom. I was proud of myself to be there for him. It was sad, but we all got through it.<br /><br />I know drinking it would have been messy.<br /><br />Sobriety brings wisdom, responsibility and compassion along with freedom. Those are just as important.<br /><br />You are a great wife. Give your husband a big hug from me.
