I had a really good day Friday.
Upbeat, productive, exciting. Made healthy choices, got good news.
It was great.
Now, I am so depressed I cannot sleep, and I am having to reach out to some folks in my circle of support.
It's bad.

Today I'm 55 years old. My father died when he was 54, killed by his addiction, and I thought I'd die before my 55th year as well. Cancer tried, but I'm still here. For my birthday, I'd appreciate you sharing this GoFundMe with friends or on social media.
