Hi Tricity good to see you again and I’m pleased you’re doing well, physically anyway. Mentally is very different it seems. I admire you for kicking your heroin habit. That must have been so hard to do. You’re rebuilding your life which has to be good and eating well too. You should be proud of yourself.

You take care, stay strong and don’t be a stranger. Xxxx
