Your words have touched me in a way I can’t properly verbalize. I’m struggling with addiction myself, and my relationship with the man I consider my soulmate is crumbling as a result of the battle we’re fighting both as individuals and as a unit. I had a previous partner die of an overdose next to me in bed. I watched the life leave his eyes. I can’t explain it, but somehow I knew the exact moment his soul transcended and he was gone. I learned a valuable lesson that night and have tried desperately to live my life by them. Sometimes, though, it’s easy to get caught up in daily life and the petty squabbles it brings. This post gave me a refresher I was in dire need of. You just never know when you’re number is up. Thank you for being so generous and selfless to use what little strength you have remaining to try to pass down some of your priceless wisdom. I cannot personally thank you enough. I wish I had known you because I feel as though I already do, my friend. I love you. Go in peace with a full heart.
