Communication is important with friends/family. It takes effort.
We really learn who our friends are when things get tough.
When things are great it's easy to be friends.
But then they go bad and stick with you - those amigos are like gold:)
He's lucky to have you.

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Adelphina. Yeah, he is a very dear friend. He was the first person who supported my writing, which means he was kinda my first fan. But I'm a fan of his musical abilities, he's a good guy. Appreciate you.

DL  

I can feel how deeply you care about him. That is true friendship. DL ;))

Yeah, he is my best friend. My brother, not by blood, but because we're kindred spirts. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, Fia. Means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

Substance abuse is tough, and though you may see many things in which you think you can help, the addict needs to first help themselves.  Even if they help themselves, there are many slip-ups, and lost moments of will in time.  Idk, I guess this kind of came across to me as your struggle with someone going through addiction.  Anyway, good job overall.  Again, nice, neat, tidy, solid, concrete conception, put into transition.  

Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support, brother. He asked me for help, but he lives in another state. As a former alcoholic I'm just giving the best advice I can. I realize he has to want it though, he has to want to change. I can't do that part for him. I pray that God gives me the wisdom to get him back on track. Appreciate you.

DL  

Yeah, sometimes, that's really all you can do, is give space, allow for change to happen, and hopefully, time can heal.

What a beautiful ode. I'm glad I came across this one.
Thank you for sharing

You're welcome. Thanks for your kind words and support. Appreciate you.
