Life's Challenges

Howdy, my Grand Daddy’s, Daddy’s, and Bois,

I hope life is treating you as well as it can this week. Earlier, we got some tough news from the Supreme Court about gay marriage. I knew this day might come eventually, but I didn’t expect it to arrive so soon—and it still hit me hard. Just remember: they may try to take away our right to marry, but they will never take away our ability to love. Not now. Not ever!

On a personal note, I had my phone stolen this week. And this poor Grand Daddy doesn’t exactly have the spare cash lying around to replace it right away, so it’ll have to wait until next week. That’s part of why this message is arriving later than usual. But, as Gloria Gaynor reminded us, I will survive—and keep moving forward.

Since it’s the start of the weekend, I’ve posted the final two blogs in our substance abuse series (click on either to read): Connection Heals and It’s Okay to Ask for Help (that one’s still a personal challenge for me). I hope you find them both meaningful and that they offer some support for whatever you’re facing.

Until next week—
L&L,
Grand Daddy Alan
