We can't control time and therefore, anniversaries, both good and bad, will come up every year for as long as we live.    In today's episode, I am going to tell you about Sam's first heroin overdose, how it changed my life and how it affects me every year.    Looking back, it feels like the day the music died for me and Sam's family.

Anniversaries are powerful and some are very difficult.   We can't stop them from coming but there are ways we can help ourselves through them.   I will share my experience with this particular anniversary and how I try to think and grow through it.

As always, I will remind you with 3 small but powerful steps to help yourself feel a little better each day and leave you with a limerick I have written for Sam.
