A Word from Mother to Son...
To My Son, I struggled to roll out of the covers that lie on my bed today. I struggled to resist the urge of hitting snooze for the fourth time in a short 30 minutes. I struggled as the thought crept in that the reason for my alarms were to be at an office where I was being required to urinate in a cup because I fell victim to the disease that is addiction. This disease nearly cost me you. I struggled with missing your brothers and sisters because I was the only mother they knew for years and I had failed them just as I had you and in the process, failed myself. For years, the five of you were my morning alarm. I struggled picking our clothes out and getting in the shower to make myself presentable for the inevitable that was to be our day because for years, I showered after the five of you were asleep.
