    This is a great poem, Anne! This reminds me of my brother and I... when he started drinking... this poem got me thinking: "We're not alone during our hardships". This poem holds such great meaning and is beyond amazing. I'm proud of the fact that you're supporting your brother right now! x) Your brother is so lucky to have a sister like you... prayers for your bro too! -DWB

    This is a beautiful verse! So true! We're never alone. Working together in trials makes trials worthwhile. They help strengthen one another and help us appreciate what we have. Your brother has a wonderful, loving sister. Awesome work. Always, Laura

    And a heartfelt dedication this is. I experimented with 'wotever' when I was young, then decided that enough was enough because I didn't want to become one of "those". It was my tone of "those" that was wrong. I am not in a position to judge. I have since tried to help loved ones battle their addictions....it is rough; I sympathize.

    Ugly stuff to deal with but with this kind of support and prayer I hope he will be on the mend. Cigs are another evil beast I dealt with and there's nothing easy about getting cured. Blessing to you both, Love, Elizabeth

    This is a great poem. I've read a lot of your work and I like it. I suffer the battles of opiate addiction as well. If only I had a sister as supportive as you. I hope you brother can overcome. It's a tough fight.
