I have been finding more time to log on here and I havent seen you 2 in a while, hope everythings ok with you. Hope you had a wonderfull Christmas and New Years looking forward to reading some more of your posts.
I haven't been on for a while either, and I miss yous as well. It seems the crazyness of the holidays is calming down and the kids are back at school and I look forward to chatting with my MIP friends. Love and Blessings Jenny

Glad to be back at MIP with all of you kindred spirits too, Sandra. Missed you all terribly. Was away visiting my father who is down with cancer and he just underwent a hip bone replacement surgery. Was a great experience spending time with him, talking on an intimate level with him for hours together everyday. I can see that the child within him is unfolding, and our interaction at such an intimate level is so very amazing and soothing for both of us.
Then my wife fell ill, and that was really scary. If not for the Third Step, I would have really really not been able to cope with it all...
I also lost two of my friends who passed away recently. So it's been a mixed beginning to my new year, and I just received a mail from my Sponsor asking me to work my Fourth and Fifth with him. I also realize that it is high time I did that now...
However, the absence of Peggy is a bit worrying to me. I remember she said that she would be away only for the holidays from christmas to new year. Hope all is well with her. I will check out at the Earth Group to see if she is posting there...

So sorry for your losses over the holidays and i will pray for your father and your wife. I lost my mother to cancer 2 1/2 years ago it's such a nasty disease, sorry to see anyone go through it. But thankfull that you are clean and able to be there for him in his time of need, thats a blessing.
Pleas let us know if you find Peggy a lot of us are missing her here, she has so much to offer. I hope she is ok.
So true, Sandra. Finally, I am able to give back what my father gave me for over a decade ~ hope when I was hopeless, faith in me that I would recover one day even when I told him that I could not possibly. He stood like a tower of strength, enveloping me with his love and care. Today I'm grateful that I'm able to give back the same to him, when he feels a bit hopeless or depressed about his condition.
Peggy is not been posting on the other online group too, where she frequents lately. So I guess, she is still on her holiday trip, away from internet access. I have PM'ed her last night, and am waiting for a reply...
yes, Sandra, she has so much to offer, her love and concern for another addict is infectious here at MIP.
