[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 657288, member: 16024"] Lil, I would have called them back, too. It sounds like they were really going above and beyond to get him contacted so he didn't loose out on this opportunity. I am thankful for that, and also that they won't have to waste any more time on this and can spend it on others who many be ready to turn their lives around. This was always your hope for him, not his. Heck, it was MY hope for him, too. Probably everyone here, too. But it wasn't his. You know, I think the hardest part in all of this is letting go. It took my hubby a long time before he could let go of the hopes he had for his son. He still has hopes for him, of course. At least, I think he does. I know I do. But I think we have given him the freedom, in our hearts, to not live up to our expectations. I think it has freed us. On the bright side, he has been fending for himself, way better than you would have given him credit for even just a few months ago. There is that. [/QUOTE]
