Hope
Two days later Katy gave birth to a little girl. Earlier, I had
suggested Kennie, but Katy named the child Kara instead.
I had known for years there was no such thing as ‘a hopeless
addict.’ Early in recovery I’d met too
many people who’d seemed broken beyond repair turn their lives around. These
people had given me hope.
On the other hand, I had sometimes wondered if some of the
world’s problems were hopeless. Watching my children grow, learning more than I
would ever know, had renewed my hope.
Holding Kara reminded me great minds were being born every
day, great ideas developing.
As I left the hospital I saw a boy who might have been five years
old opening a laptop. I wondered if he was going to play a game or work on his
Physics homework.
Today I’ll be hopeful.
Fawlty Showers 2 is a work of fiction. Any similarity
