D Is Gone and L Is Home

Had not heard from D since late January.   Went by the place she used to live.  Was told she had moved out.  Since it was a fantastic place for her to raise her baby with greatly subsidized rent and structured living, that did not bode well.  Maybe she won the lottery and bought a house.   It could have happened though I have yet to meet or hear of an addict having this experience in early recovery.  I hope D and baby J are doing well wherever they are.

After driving thru White Center, checking on D and having a burger at Dairy Queen, we drove to the airport to pick up Leslee.   She had gone to Myanmar with her son for three weeks.   Summer is not the high season for tourists there.  It was hot and muggy for 10 days and the monsoon rains started making it almost-as-hot, muggy and wet.  They had a great trip.  She referred to going upriver as the heart-of-darkness in that they did not see another white person for 5 days.  They people had food, were clean and there were shrines ranging from new to ancient everywhere they went.

I am grateful we checked on D, sad she was gone and happy that L had a great trip and made it home safely after spending the afternoon with her granddaughter in LA.
