Reply #38: Hmm. Of all the stories, maybe once I saved my mom's life. [View All]

She was really out there on alcohol for some years. One night, I woke up and the house was full of smoke. I followed it to her room, and she was passed out in bed and had dropped a lit cigarette. The whole bed was on fire. I put the fire out and aired out the room.

She was (we were) very, very lucky because she wasn't hurt. But, she had the cR@p scared out of her when she woke up in that bed the next morning. I was 11, my little brother was 3 or so. My poor mom.

Anyway, she's been clean for over thirty years now, 74 and wonderful. Thank God.
