His name is Robert. He is my greatest friend as well as the person I love. He has a strong character and moral center with a deep-seated belief in a higher power. He is an artist, philosopher, intellectual, philanthropist and survivor. He is generous of spirit, compassionate, understanding. He is wise, witty, erudite, extremely well-read and seriously articulate.
His art speaks volumes of his ability, sensitivity, and judgement. He is strong and capable, open and honest. Practically, the first thing he will tell you is that he is an alcoholic. He has been in recovery for more than twenty-five years. The thing about it is that while alcoholism is the chronic disease he successfully deals with everyday, it is not who he is. He, quite simply, is the most extraordinary man I have ever met.
