Highs and Lows

Last week was filled with extreme highs and lows Having a loved one with mental illness and substance abuse Can be like that, with threats of suicide one day And the decision to finally go to rehab the next My own emotions swing with the circumstances But a lot of times I feel numb, yet try to stay positive With a smile on my face and in my mind, I continually count my my blessings Grateful that I still have my son with me, Because we have come very close to losing him before The swings are much better than a gut wrenching loss Yet, the journey is still a tough road to travel
