Every new years eve we spent as a family. A tradition we began our first year together. Steak and escargot on the dinner menu followed by board games and watching the ball drop. Even in the worst of times when Jay was in his active addiction he made sure he was there for these moments. He took pride in the traditions we created as a family, memories for our children to pass down. This year we celebrated without him for the first time since 2007. I wish more than anything he was here. I am finding it difficult to experience all of the “firsts”… I can’t imagine that the “2nd’s” will be much easier. But alas, it’s a new year and we must move forward. We never made resolutions and believed that you don’t need the beginning of a new year to make positive changes in your life. This year I just hope to find some peace and closure. I hope to be able to advocate for people who suffer from addiction and those affected by it.
Happy New Year and may 2019 bring you health and happiness!
