i am a proud sister
tonight marks the one year point that my oldest brother craig has been sober. words cannot describe how proud of him i am.
he called me and left me a voicemail while i was at work saying "hey court, its craig... i just wanted to let you know its the year anniversary of me being sober... and i really hope to keep on this roll... please keep fighting for me.... im feeling really good right now.... i just wanted to let you know that im really sorry for anything i did to you in the past and know that i love you... give me a call when you get this."
tears in the break room.
i remember last summer.. june 5th to be exact... olsen played there first show in cleveland.. and i remember right after our set craig pulled me to the side of the buidling... and he said "that was an amazing show court, you guys have improved soo much since the hopeful..... and i wish i could stay here and hang out with you but im detoxing right now and im really sick.... so i need to head home." and he hugged me and took off.
my brother started drinking when he was like 15 i think... and it very quickly consumed his life... and it directly effected me because i looked up to craig more than words can say when i was in junior high and high school ( and of course still now today... as with my brother doug ) and there were times when craig did some really losey things as a brother to me.... and it was hard to see someone you held in such high reguards always wasted to no end and saying/doing things you didnt wanna know about.
but... here i sit.... i know its been a rough fucking road for him thusfar .... and i cant remember when i was so fucking proud and happy for him.
congratulations craig... you know we all love you more than life itself
