I'm grateful for your Friendship posts, it's not easy to admit that I've been an absent friend, strictly surface, superficial stuff and am ashamed at how many conversations were forgotten by me because of blacking out from the wine. I feel so empowered and excited to be a better Mom and friend, thank you SM.

It comes at a good time for me, when I am working through this non-drinking sober thing, figuring out who my real friends are, and all that good fun feel-y stuff. Thank you for the last two parts of this blog. Those really made me smile. :) xx - CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-22568463941855245812016-07-15T20:24:03.340-07:002016-07-15T20:24:03.340-07:00I too have been trying to treasure my friendships ...I too have been trying to treasure my friendships since I have stopped drinking.

But I am here, thinking of you, and Mr SM, and Q's family. And I want to say thankyou for still blogging at a time like this. And as for the eulogy - what an honour. I know it will feel difficult in anticipation, but what's really important is that the person as they are is honoured - I mean that their personality shines through. I'm not the slightest bit religious (I'm thinking you might be more than me) and i feel the way we "live on" is through others' memories of us. I am confident Mr SM will honour his friend - and after all if he does break down, no-one there is going to judge him.Midlifecrisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480083841595444048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-88030616794475488122016-07-15T08:09:27.545-07:002016-07-15T08:09:27.545-07:00Your strength - and what you are learning through ...Your strength - and what you are learning through this hard time - is contagious, SM.<br />Northwoman1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/09855277712359787495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-46799237352024413312016-07-15T07:56:37.476-07:002016-07-15T07:56:37.476-07:00I echo all of the above.

This has been such a tough year - and we're only in July - and here we are ending another tumultuous week with the monstrous atrocity in Nice. Our family and friends - and our health - are the most important. Possessions, money in the bank. count for nothing in the end. We must treasure them. And take nothing for granted. xxxWalkingonSunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032552302196182107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-33012806745723643502016-07-15T02:58:12.442-07:002016-07-15T02:58:12.442-07:00"A strong friendship doesn't need daily c..."A strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation, or being together.
