I remember that...Thank you for your comment, Kathy! I remember that night at Colonel Gray when we were taking questions/comments from the audience and you spoke up. I had no idea that it was your first time doing so but your story of losing your son broke my heart and shook me to the core. My son was still in active addiction at the time so I knew that it could be him next. Then I saw you again a few months later at another event that I was speaking at and you spoke up again. I am so glad that you continued to support my work and shared your story and that we've gotten to know each other. You are a strong, caring woman who I am happy to call a friend. xoRose Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494703820579288675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624269600311071736.post-52054457928972215972014-12-31T00:29:44.972-05:002014-12-31T00:29:44.972-05:00Happy Anniversary Rose; it was because of you at t...Happy Anniversary Rose; it was because of you at that first assembly almost 2years ago that i first spoke out and have again at 2others since then and have also followed the rally with Diane Young last year, if it wasnt for you that first time i may not have spoken out but at that time i finally realized i had nothing to be ashamed of, then the next couple of times i learned to speak out more. Thank you to you and Roni for starting the 3CS group last May i know i have come a long way since the first night and i always look forward to the following week .With the group there still may be some downtimes for me but at least now i can show you a true smile and share also some laughs .
