Recording this episode was quite tough, especially towards the end, as I really just wanted to cry. I don't know how impactful a podcast is if the listener can't really hear what you're saying because you're crying or sobbing, or sniveling. Anyway, I made an effort to get this out of me, because I believe it has a very powerful and very important message. I know that I am not the only one who carries a memory or two that is sad, hurtful, or holds some shame. I hope this story about how I remembered my "alcoholic grandparents", and how, after enduring a horrible migraine that offered me a lot of thinking time this past weekend, I no longer hold that same memory, but choose to remember all the wonderful details, that are equally real and true. If you are a parent and you drink alcohol, perhaps one of your greatest fears is that your children will not respect you, or only remember you as drunk. For you, I hope this episode gives hope that they will also remember all the lovely things you do for them, the moments you have together with laughter and fun. That is also real! My intention with today's episode is to inspire you to take ownership of your thoughts and feelings, and in particular those around any memory that you carry with pain. To my grandparents Gunvor and Hilding, up in Heaven.
