Life as an addict/alcoholic, whether in recovery or not, is treacherous. Fraught with sandbars, rocky shoals, and gale-force winds forever obstructing any forward motion. Shore could be in sight, hopes elevated, and one’s ship gets dashed against the rocks of the unexpected, uninvited, and unwelcome. Sadly, many do not survive. This is the story of one such soul.
We shall miss you, Elle.

Thanks, for this, Rob. Deeply moving, deeply moved. You continue to inspire compassion and goodness in others, in me. Miss your presence on this side of the pond and yet celebrate new beginnings [daily] with you and Rae. gs

Many thanks, Gwen. Living and working among those (like me) struggling with addiction issues isn’t always a pretty affair. We’ll lunch next time we’re in Yakima!
