Caroline Knapp Saved My Life

I was reading some past posts and came across her name. Caroline Knapp wrote a book called Drinking, A Love Story . I read it when I was still drinking and saw myself in every word.

I had this fantasy of someday seeing her and telling her, "Thank you for saving my life." She died of lung cancer last year I believe. I was stuck in traffic listening to NPR's All Things Considered when I heard it and I just sat in my car and cried and cried. She was so young. Here I go, crying again.

Goddess, hold her close to you, please.

Thank You Great Mother.
