Hmmm. On this day in 1955 my oldest sister was married. That marriage lasted for over 27 years. My Mom never forgave her for leaving BIL #1. Mom did not have to live day in and day out with an alcoholic. BIL #1 was a really sweet guy to the rest of the world. Just not always to Sis. My Sis chose not to live with that. In 1999 that man passed from complications of his disease. In 2015 their first born son died from complications of the same disease.
But on that night 64 years ago the future looked bright for these two beautiful young people.

ReplyDeleteWe can never know what is ahead. Good to remember the positives but it takes courage to acknowledge and face up to the negatives. Especially if the latter outweighs the former. Alcohol - the original drug of social devastation. YAM xx
