I loved this story a lot, even with the sad ending. It’s reality. And it makes me feel confident again that I’ve stopped drinking (for the most part). Also I am so curious to see your house remodeled! The outside looks so inviting!

Lovely essay. I was hooked with the opening and truly wanted the Supreme Queen to have had a happier ending to her life story. But this is the harsh reality of what alcoholism does to people over time. No judgment in this. I did love all the details of your essay, especially as you looked back over the type of life and energy she brought to the house you now call yours.
