Dear Patio, I heard this song while I was getting ready for work this morning and thought of you. You must be going through hell right now trying to function at work, worrying about the grandchildren and at the same time watching your daughter self destruct.{{{HUGS}}}
You are all your daughter has right now and I hope you are able to find the strength somehow to see this through. No one grows up wanting to be an addict. Hopefully with your love and support she can overcome the problems that led to her addiction and reclaim her life.
Know that there are many on this board who are thinking of you at this time and hoping for the best for you, your daughter and family. BTW, you're a great Mom and a special lady. Your sister is too.
One more {{HUG}}before I return to work. Please don't neglect yourself. Try and get some rest and eat something even if you don't feel like it.
love,
Seven
I'LL STAND BY YOU(The Pretenders)
Oh, why you look so sad.
Tears are in your eyes.
Come on and come to me, now.
Don't be ashamed to cry.
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you,
Don't know what to do,
Nothin' you confess
Could make me love you less.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
So, if you're mad, get mad.
Don't hold it all inside.
Come on and talk to me, now,
And hey, what've you got to hide?
I get angry too.
Well I'm a lot like you.
When you're standin' at the crossroads,
Don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong,
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby,
You're feelin' all alone,
Wand'rin' on your own,
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you
On and on and on. Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
