Run For Your Brother: An Addiction Story

Sharing the addiction journey of my father for #NationalRecoveryMonth and the 20th Anniversary of his death:

This song, to me, represents everything Eddie Spooner wanted out of life:

“Run for your brother,Run as fast as you can,

Take your sister’s hand in yours

And spread love

Throughout the land.”

– Eddie Spooner

My brother created this video not long ago because his words are more relevant today than ever before. I won’t speak of his alcoholism today…I think this song shows what can be taken from the world by addiction. It also shows his profound hope that if we all spread a little love, and come together to do so, the world would be a more beautiful place.
