I heard a song today by Montgomery Gentry called Talking To My Angel. The "angel" is his daughter. My little angels are all grown up now, but this spoke to me anyway. When he speaks of hope of changing, I was thinking of TSM, of course,

Lyrics:
It's me again with this whiskey on my breath again.
And I'm ashamed about the shape I'm in
And how bad I feel.
Damn these tears.
Damn this habit that I've had for years.
I'm trying hard to make it disappear.
I swear I will.
Don't lose faith in me.
I know I can win this battle, wait and see.
Thanks to you I've got a reason to believe
that I can be a stronger man.
I know you need me to be a better dad.
Baby, I need you to help me make it through.
So I'm here talking to you.
My angel.
I watch you sleep.
My life changes with every breath you breathe.
And I want you to think the world of me.
I wanna make you proud.
No, it's not too late.
To make a man out of this mess I've made.
To put that bottle down and walk away.
I will somehow.
So don't lose faith in me.
I know I can win this battle, wait and see.
Thanks to you I've got a reason to believe
that I can be a stronger man.
I know you need me to be a better dad.
Baby, I need you to help me make it through.
So I'm here talking to you.
My angel.
Yeah, I love you, my angel.
