OPEN LETTER - FROM ADDICT TO CHILD

-




My dear Child,

The hardest part is always coming to terms with the truth. In any situation & or in any circumstance.

Relationships are difficult because it takes two hearts.

God intended for a relationship to work as two think about the other over themselves.

But since we’re humans, we only lookout for ourselves & our selfish ways, then we fall short of love and respect for one another.

I am my own kind of person with a huge heart that honestly love people! 

But addiction always came 1st … and that creates a lot of chaos, hurt, anger, shame & frustration for any relationship.

I truly love you! You are my heart & soul … but addiction never allows its person to have two loves … addiction has to be #1.

I carry alot of shame & regrets .. and addiction makes it easier for me to live.

Once you get caught up in this whirlwind.. it’s not so easy to get out.

I often wonder about getting clean, but I am so deep & far into it that I can not see myself clean.

In an addicts' mind, it is easier to continue to punish yourself. That’s what I call it and it is my choice.

I could not fit in with the regular group of people who would be happy with a quiet life .. I have to be always on the move. I do not know how to be happy and I do not have peace in this life.

But I love you! And I do my very best! Being a parent isn't my perfect role, but like all addicts I try my best, realizing that I fell short.

Let my life be one that you can look back on to recognize how I fell short in this life.

Also, understand that drugs, sex, alcohol, money & being what others want us to be, will never satisfy.

Instead be honest with yourselves & desire to live a life with love for yourselves & peace in your heart.

Doing this I believe would honor my life.

I love you so much & want you to be happy with yourself & in life.

Had a great “70th” birthday. Damn, how did I get here? But I am thankful for my wonderful life and my family! My cup overflows  with gratitude and blessings from God, as I get to share in your adult lives and get to cheer you both from the sidelines.. What a blessing it is to get this far in life and still enjoy making memories with y’all. My cup is full as I now have new family members; Janette & Camy, Jo, John and Erika. Let us daily thank God for His love towards us and may we continue to fall in love more with one another. My “Blessings” from  above “The Lord gives both death and life; He brings some down to the grave but raises others up”              1 Samuel 2:6  “He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother”  Praise the Lord!  Psalm 113:9 “Naked I came  from my mother’s womb,  And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken” This is Josh at the same age as his munc...

“We All Go The Way of Grace”

     Proverbs 21:22 “Whoever pursues righteous and unfailing love will find life, righteousness and honor” Father, Elohim,  “Thank you” 4 putting your wonderful creation together for all to enjoy and be rich by it all. Today in LA it has been raining, which is one thing we do not get much of .. but I “thank you” for it. It’s a time of slowing down.  It’s a time to sit and be still in the comfort of a warm home with family. I “thank you” Lord for the newness that comes with rain. It washes our soul and our mind.  We can take time to be still and reflect on where I AM .. where am I going .. and how to get there. The rain brings us to a stop and a moment to care about family, to look at ourselves and a chance for change, if needed. The rain heals the soul and lights it up with hope and freshness.  It’s a bath from head to toe that relaxes my spirit with the feeling of cleansing within me. Take time to enjoy this amazing season!  job leon https://yout...
